A car just doesn't drop on its own. Sounds like something has failed.

Don't they mean lowered Lee? Just take it to a garage and instead of having them lower the torsion bar have them raise it. simples.

yeh was going to say. sounded like it had been lowered not the whole suspension has collapsed 
Raising the torsion bar should be easy enough seen as its already been done. Source yourself some new struts with coils from a scrap yard and get them changed over would be the easiest and you can sell the others.

Shouldn't be that much harder if they have been treated like they should with some kind of anti-sieze compound. When I do mine I am going to marinate everything in copper grease

It's a job worth getting done in a garage tbh, some places are good and do it for £100 or less, others take the p**s and ask for alot more.
