I have a pug 106. i love torsion bars :L if you reverse the car and keep lifting your handbreak the back of the car will bunny hop :L

@westonsuperphotos

also it rips the liners off the rear drums and shears the beam mounts. so not a good thing to be doing.

Question:

how the fuck do you actually adjust the height?

[darrenjlobb]

well, once you have the torsion bars out you put them back in selecting a spline position higher up closer to the car. that way it will sit closer to the ground.

Great guide mate! Me and my freind have been trying to lower his p2 106 gti but it aint going no where, i will use it again when i come to lower mine further! Does this method not fubar the bearings like the splines method because surely this is doing virtually the same to the bearings?

Very informative. We have a s1 rally car, got a recon axle that was too high, udjusted it to a normal height and fuck me its got 6 inches of free bounce with shoks and everything bolted back up. The shocks are Bilstein motorsport and in good nick, these axles are over engineered for what they do, we 've been trying all day t set this up right but still not anywhere near done, Do the torsion bars need to be forcing aginst each other ?

[Tadas0718]
