Hi piggy, looking to buy a 205 this weekend and this will be first thing I do. I'm a mechanic and have lowered lots of cars but never a torsion set up. How different is a 205 compared to your vid or same? I dont wanna go mad on it looking at 40mm drop on front springs then rear to match. Is it as clear cut as 40mm springs on front measure the 40mm on the rear and will sit straight down the side afterwards? I dont have GTI money when buying the car so will be either a 1.6 petrol base model or 1.8 diesel model. Is there anything you can think of I will need in advance before its lowered, part wise, to replace or upgrade on the suspension while I'm there as I only intend to do it once, and will the standard shocks be ok on the 40mm drop? Thanks mate and keep it up liked and subscribed.

I've watched this video about 8 times now, but still no more confident in doing it myself! My rear is too low for my liking, bought a refurbished axle and it was dropped 40mm, so I want to raise it by about 25mm so I can put my 20mm spacers back on.

@PiggyPower

This is the problem with the nick method aka the total rubbish bodge method... You don't know how much a nick is .... Hence why you need to remove the torsion bar. I'll be totally honest with you... I know it's all a matter of taste... But... If you intend to lower it 100mm+... You'll be on the bump stops. Which is dangerous. Really dangerous. Please modify safely 👍

What a bunch of over engineered pieces of shit. A whole weekend for just the rear. Was going to lower a friends for him but after watching this nightmare no chance. Why can't they just be a normal spring and strut setup like 99.9% of cars out there.

Haha... They are a little more tricky that replacing a set of springs... Many other manufacturers use this setup though and some are returning to it . . . If nothing is dramatically seized... The advantages: They can often last the lifetime of the vehicle = huge saving on parts and labor over the lifetime of ownership Fully independent suspension at the rear of a fwd car .. for a cheap fwd car of the era this was amazing. Fully adjustable height... You can adjust the heigh to within a mm of whatever height you'd like without buying any parts. Downside: it's a right sod to adjust the height. 😂🙈 🐷💪
