Been wanting to lower the 19 for some time now..as it sits too high at the back...

was thinking 30mm all round?? nice and subtle..but what is one 'click' on the torsion bar equivalent to in mm??

Leave the front standard and bring the back down nearly level.

If you really must do the front, do the torsion bar first as you dont want to swap the front springs and then find the bars are siezed and you cant adjust them.

There's no such thing as a 'click', that's cliosport/RSC talk. Do a search, it's been covered loads of times.

nice one neal..apologies for the cliosport?RSC speak Embarassed Laughing

didnt really want to lower it all...coz everything else on the car is standard and thats the way its staying.. but the back end is just a little too high didnt think it were possible to level the back out without messing with the front.

Yes I do. I can't speak from a ClioSport point of view as i'm not on there but saying that everyone on RSC is in someway a technical numpty is insulting.

When did I say that everyone on RSC is a technical numpty?

You didn't say it but from your text it is clearly implied... I don't know, maybe i've just got hold of the wrong end of the stick here andif I have then I appologise but It's bad enough having CS slag us off without having another club which I thought we were pretty close with having a dig.

Well sorry if I caused offense, but like it or not, the idea of 'clicks' on the suspension (for example) or 15bhp gain from a £150 tarted up air filter goes hand in hand with the 'lexus light brigade' who let's be honest, congregate on CS and RSC. So in that sense, I stand by my comment.

But clearly not all people on RSC or CS are like that.

That's OK and I can see what you're getting at but not everyone is aware of the correct terminology and it's a learning curve for them. I guess I read way too much in to what you wrote and engaged Ginger drive so appologies from my end to.
