rear dampers - lowering

[c.gerrard]

I would say go 60mm springs instead, a 40mm drop isn't quite enough.

With dampers, if you're just replacing the front springs and leaving the stock absorbers, leave the rear alone now... However, if you are putting uprated front absorbers on, you will want the rear to match or else you'll upset the balance of the car.

And yeah, it is the torsion bars on the rear that you'll have to mess around with to change the ride height, which are the biggest pain in the ass part of the car that I've come across!!
