re: Torsion Bar Installation

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

Don't your torsion bars and your car have markings on them showing 
which splines to line up for stock ride height?  If so, rotate the 
bars one notch AT BOTH ENDS for every 1.5mm of desired change in ride 
height.  Although I suppose that doesn't neccessarily work with 
stiffer bars...hmm...  Have you tried calling AR Ricambi (nee 
Shankle)?  (800)225-2532, Pacific time zone, I think.
