   Im thinking of lowering my car do i just simply change the springs over and lower the torsion bar? because my mate knows how to change the springs on a car but does he need to do anything with the springs or is it just a simple case of swapping the standard ones over for the lowering springs?

   depending on the amount of lowering you can sometimes get away with not replacing the shocks

   looking at lowering it 40 or 50mm just the springs, cant afford full shocks etc, so i can just swap the springs straight over and then lower the torsion bar?
