#1: Thicker torsion bars query Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sat Apr 20, 2013 6:53 pm ---- Hi
Would fitting thicker torsion bars raise the ride height at the back, if I were to not move the position of the arms whilst the original bars were removed? My thinking is that the thicker bars would resist the weight of the car a little more and make it sit higher, if that makes sense. Is this correct?
Thanks

The back is a little too low for my liking so I wanted to figure out how to get it 10mm higher with thicker bars

#7: Re: Thicker torsion bars query Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 6:00 am ---- Why not just raise it 10mm on the existing torsion bars?

I hate torsion bars so this is the last time I want to mess with them! Last edited by Andrew on Sun Apr 21, 2013 1:54 pm; edited 1 time in total
