   spax are doing the vsx kit at £175 on www.potn.co.uk at the min and if you want the rear lowering you gotta fiddle with the torsion bar!

   You have to adjust the torsion bar to lower it.

    hi there is there anywhere closer to northamptonshire that will lower the torsion bar ? And if i lowered the front by 30mm and left the back do you reckon it would look out of place ?

    Scroll through the above post and you'll seee mine with just the front lowered 40mm it doesn't look pretty, it has a full spax kit fitted just needs the torsion bar doing now.

    I found some more pics of mine lowered at the front only, I'm not sure how low as it was on coilovers but I guess 50mm:

    The car has a load of stuff in the boot in the 2nd pic so it will sit abit higher.
    
    It also handled relly bad but that might have been the shite coilovers.
