Mine is on 17's as well and is lowered 35mm.
Wouldn't go any lower.
BTW you will get through lower ball joints like anything! |

Cheers guys. I'm thinking of uprating the suspension so I was just after some ideas. Is the torsion bar easy to lower or is it likely to be seized in there??? |

Spray plus-gas on the ends every day for a week and drive the car everyday.
I did that and had no problems getting the bars out. |

On the other hand, i tried to do one after dousing with WD40 every day for several weeks. One bar was totally siezed solid. The other one came free and I tried to bash the stuck one out from the other side with a length of metal bar and a big club hammer. Wasnt having any of it. Swapped the whole rear beam off another car in the end. |

Mine was really easy.
I drove it to the mechanics and he had the trouble of doing it for me!  |
