QUOTE(73p914 @ Oct 13 2004, 08:26 PM) is the only way to lower the front end, the torsion bars and if so how do i go about doing it??? get a 11mm wrench and turn the screw on the torsion bar adjuster ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) remember, lowering one corner will change ride-hight on all 4 corners! it's done best in small increments, switching between left front and right front, constantly measuring the distance of the floorpan to the floor. get both sides almost equal, you want the drivers side a bit higher (so it's leveled with your big butt in it) or both exactly equal with a weight in the drivers seat that is close to your own weight. make sure you have about 1/2 a tank of gas. oh, and every time to switch sides, you need to roll the car just a bit back/forth so the suspension can settle in. once you're done, drive (slowly!) straight to the next good alignement shop ...
