lowering the torsion bar

[fubs]

hi peps i see people are saying to pull out the anti roll bar then the torsion bars but is that needed or can you just pull out the torsion bars???

[bashbarnard]

You.wonet get the bars out without removing anti roll bat first. Take a look in guides section abour lowering

[Curt]

Yes you need to remove the ARB first. What's the issue though, that's the easy bit?

[fubs]

Just trying to save time lol do you know what size bolt I need to pull the arb out

[Curt]

M12x1.5. You're best off reading the guide, it has everything you need in it.

[fubs]

Thanks mate and where is the guide I'm new to the site

[zx_volcane]

xud headbolt is the right size - or rear caliper bolt that holds the carrier to the hub is also the right size (and possibly handy if you're doing a disc beam too)

[fubs]

Cheers it on my hdi estate which is rear discs

That's pretty low!

[DeeTurbo]

Did you remember to put your bars back in?

[Piggy]

What broke?

[WiNgNuTz]

Yeah, that's a bit too low tbh, looks like it's broken and dragging it's arse around like a dog with worms!

[fubs]

Nothing broke and it does sit about level, can't see the point in only half lowering a car lol

[Frosty]

I think the point is to lower them not that much so that there not sitting on the bump stops and ride horrible

[fubs]

Still clearance from bump stops and is a softer ride then my 16v and seems to corner ok so I'm happy

You've only lowered the rear half though.

[welshpug]

looked low enough before!

level sucks, rake FTW

[fubs]

Front is dropped but now it settled think I'll pull it down a bit more

[Mattcheese31]

if you're happy that's what matters, personally i think it looks broke too and for me the front should always be lower than the back

[pug306driver]

the cops are gunna think you have a safe in the back.......a "puller" if there ever was one.....I was worried about mine being low ( it has a tow bar on the back so has had a hardf life ) but seeing you pics I not any more.......

I got front set of 60mm lowering springs for my 306 , do I have to get new shocks aswell or will the standard once do?

[Piggy]

60mm is a bit much a standard shocks.

[bashbarnard]

Agreed 60mm is a bit much on standard shocks. But saying that im running standard shocks and 60 atm untill I can afford shocks
