   How much would it cost to get the rear torsion bars lowered by a proper garage?

   I got mine lowered last week... cost me £60 for the front springs to be fitted, £60 for the torsion bar to be lowered... plus VAT..
   
   So £140ish for all of it complete... and they modded my PAS pipe for nothing
   
   You will end up paying more if your torsion bar is siezed though..

   Depends on the garages hourly labour charge to be honest. Also will depend if the bar (s) are seized and a bitch to get out. Think the standard for the torsion is about £60-£75 as ppl have said. i would do the front dprings myself but i reckon another £50-£60 for garage to do it.
