    Hi all,
    I see alot of Xsaras,306s and saxos slammed (felted) on the ground on the different forums. Coilovers on front, lowered a few "nicks" on the back. I assume lowering torsion bars ain't a good idea, but just wondering what damage exactly does it do to the car?

    Thanks.

    None if done properly and not done to the extreme.

    Seriously? Jeez, I wasn't aware of that. You learn something new every day.

    Also how do you mean done properly? Is there a certain way to do it?

    Thanks.:)

    Manufacturer warranty covered aftermarket springs, better than original shocks etc.

    Cutting springs and cheap coilovers will only put your suspension under more pressure and spacers don't help either

    But, I thought, pre 2003 on 306, Saxos, Xsaras and 106s the back axels had torsion bar. I'm sure the front had standard shocks. Meaning that a coilovers or lowering spring wouldn't fit the back??

    I think ye took me up wrong..
    But here is a guide on lowering the rear of a 306 might help explain better.. Click here

    Thanks.
