Hi all,

I've recently had my car lowered, front by 30mm & the back was adjusted 1 'notch' on the rear torsion bars (standard shocks), which makes it sit slightly lower than the front.

How can I make the rear sit slightly higher than the front suspension but lower than stock?

Im looking for the rear to sit around 20-25mm lower than stock height. Also would gas rear shocks make any difference?

If it was done the notch way, it was don't the crap way. The correct way is to take the torsion bars out, that way you can accurately adjust the height.

Ah right ok. How do you adjust the correct way? Also is it worth putting gas shocks on?

There are plenty of guides on how to lower the 206 rear axle, there's one on here somewhere, or just google it. Yes I would uprate the rear shocks.

I've found this www.206info.co.uk/Foru...guide.html

Is this the method you were referring too? Mine has already been adjusted the 'crap way' so I just need him to put them back as they were & then adjust using this method? Just out of interest does anybody know the stock height for the rear?
