   I assume so... But why would you want to? It's high enough as it is...!

   is your car at standard hight? if it is im not really too sure if it can go higher
   
   but if its been lowered its just a case of doing the opposite to the torsion bar.

    well if its at standard hight it shouldnt rubb at all really on vtr alloys tbh it should only affected when you have fitted larger alloys.
    
    have you had it too a garage yet? i would take it to one if i was you something doesnt sound right.

    I can only guess its a base model saxo, i.e. a 1.1
    
    If so u need to do arch mods to stop is rubbin at the back, as highering it will just bugger things up. I think u will find u need to cut away some of the inner arch to stop it rubbing

    ahh i see the light now, thought you have a vt whatever.
    
    in that case get the grider out or bend the inside lip back using a hammer.
    
    remember to seal it after with paint ect to protect it from rust
