   Hey guys. Tried to higher my car at the weekend as it's too low and too bumpy. I bought it lowered at rear more than the front. I want to equal it and it will hopefully be a bit smoother. Problem is I couldn't even get to the torsion bars. The t40 screw is seized beyond belief tried dw40 and a freeze spray tried lots of leverage and high powered drill my dad has. Any help on how to get it off? An impact wrench maybe? Thanks guys

   "Higher"? It's "raise" you spaz.
   
   Anyway, sometimes an impact gun will work. Otherwise, get a chisel and use it to chap round the head on the torx screw

   Haha I was half asleep pal.
   Yes I thought that. What you think about using a blow torch?

   have you rounded it? Might want to just try carefully cutting a slot and using a screwdriver or if push comes to shove weld something to it and use that to get it out

   No the torx bit still fits well. I'm gonna have another go this weekend. Try that slot method and the blow torch.
