#4: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: bradshaw1759, Location: wigan (center of the universe)Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:03 pm ---- right then is this torsion bar a diy job or do you have to get it done prof.
#5: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:04 pm ---- if you confident in car mechanics you can diy it, i have and many other people have diy.

#15: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:45 pm ---- loved your 206 ben..... sorry its not still around on here
#16: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: Whirly, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:20 am ---- I was wondering same kinda thing actually. If you were doing a diy job would you only need the front springs or do you need new shock absorbers or anything else as well?
#17: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: Whirly, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:21 am ---- That was if I was lowering 35/40 mm
#18: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:31 am ---- minnes down 50mm on springs only. ride isnt too bad tbh, 35-40mm on standard shocks will be fine.
#19: Re: info needed on lowering please Author: Whirly, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 8:31 am ---- Ah nice one dude, least it saves a bit of money for something else
