Right going to buy some lowering springs soon as standard ride height obviously is noit doing the look any good and will make a huge difference to the look...
I like the low look of the car and was thinking 60mm drop (car is saxo by the way on 14's) this apparently scrapes the manifold if challenged with speed bumps etc which i dont mind as il take them steady..
60mm though this cant be good for track action and was thinking 40mm would probably be best for this.. so not sure whether 40mm will look low enough and be best for track or go 50mm and deal with?/
some help please which would you go for??
cheers people...
not getting any bigger wheels either want 14's for track,...
50mm is the best allrounder so go for that but dont forget that once u have turned the torsion bar down 1 turn of the splines is usually about 40mm and 2 turns is about 60mm so your back end my sit a lower than your front.

hmmmm...
i was going to do the torsion bar by measuring it.. not counting splines... so should be ok... well im not going to do it my dad will lol
splines is the easiest way to go about it tho isn't it? and in all fairness i cant see 10mm making that much different... get it on its arse lol xxx
10mm is a lot to some people. lol

it is easier yeah... either way is pretty simple just hope its not ceased up as most are 
i want it 60mm but far too low for the track,,, what a difference a cm makes eh lol...
your best bet will be just turning your torsion bar one spline mate.
D is right when he says 1 spline =40mm (ish) 2splines =60mm(ish)
if your concious of handling i would go for 40mm and just do the torsion bar to match the front.
also i have found that the best way to get the torsion bar out is with a slide hammer and give it some pasty!
not bieng funny but drop it on its arse mate mines 120mm all round ive been on a few tracks not had to much problems as for speed bumps well diagaonal is always your best bet

im not that hardcore... 60mm is scaring me haha... hows your suspension then? any nasty bills? that can not be comfy ride...
its cool its jap mate yeh not the best smooth ride but it does me
Travelling diagonally accross speed bumps and still scraping is where its at, haha.
lol i got a 'warning' for going diagonal over a bump,going TOO SLOW over a bump,
and got told i could be took to court over 'defacing' the speed bumps!lmfao

just scraping is that it
getting car to rock is where its at 
Thats what the red speed bumps are for
I'm talking about the bumps you can get all four wheels on, any smaller than that and I'm fucked...
60mm ftw.
my red clio clio is dropped by 2 splines and adjustable rear absorbers and coilovers on the front dropped equally and set to the the second hardest setting and has no problems what so ever on speed bumps.
