   Ok ive ive got a budget of 150 quid to get my vtr lowered,its on 15s.40mm is the maximum drop i can have for the roads where i live. any1 know of a good kit for that price or near to it,I realy don't want the ride to be too choppy tho cuz it will just annoy me as i have to drive my car to work every day.
   
   Do you think i would be better of just buying good springs first like konis or eibachs? Only problem is i can only find eibachs in 35mm and konisin 55mm. Any thoughts?

   remember that your gonna need to pay someone to do the rear torsion bars for you, so unless you do it yourself 150 smackers isn't nearly enough mate. My advice would be to save up and do it properly

   A full kit isnt essential, but if you like a nice comfy ride then you'll need a full kit.
   
   You can buy the springs for about £50.

   Sorry for the jack... how much would it cost to get the rear torsion bars lowered, like from a proper place?
