   Just a yes or no answer will be great guys!

   Just the kit says lowers by 35mm, so does it mean both or not, it doesn't really clarify it well!

   Nice 1 hessle, Think from what the guy has said is the new dampers will aid the torsions bars stress once adjusted!
   
   I'm having it done for sure, its just a matter of time, then its engine mods...
   
   Need it faster!

   that kit in the pic will not fit your car matey, as saxo's don't have springs at the back, its just dampers and a torsion bar! so you will have to have the torsion bar "played with", Yes!

    Cheers mate, well spoke to my Uncle who's my mechanic and taking the car up there tomorrow so he can give the torsion bar the once over, apparantly he's had a couple snap on him in the past when altering them....
    
    Hopefully 3 weeks or so and i should be a low rider, do u think it will look low on 35mm drop with 17's...
    
    
    How many noctch's on the torsion bar so the car looks level with the 35mm drop on the front?
