81Luvsparks if you were losening the bars that are connected up front you might have to get your front end re-aligned. Those bars up front are called strut bars and they adjust your caster angle.

I dont think he is touching them. Strut bars or another common name is castor rods.


Thats probably nearly too low. The torsion bars will be as soft as buggery and you wont have any suspension travel. Being that soft and low just turning a corner will create enough body roll to bottom the suspension out.
