Ride Height Adjustment
Ride height adjustment is carried out by rotating the torsion bars with respect to the indices on the front lower A-arms and rear mount within the cross member. The bars are provided with a different number of splines (35 front, 34 rear) at each end, essentially a vernier scale, allowing precise adjustments to be made. When removing the bars, take care not to switch them over. The bars are marked by the following code: Left by a yellow mark and the letter S or L: right by a blue mark and the letter D or R. You shouldn't have to worry about this since the bars don't need to be fully removed to be adjusted, but I included it here just in case.
Using a marker, grease pencil or scribe, mark the position of the factory indices on the A-arm and cross member in relation to the splines on the bars. By employing the torsion bar removal tool or your substitute (you cheapskate), withdraw the torsion bars to the rear so that the splines are completely free. Complete the ride height adjustment by rotating the torsion bar by one tooth at each for every 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm of required adjustment. Viewing the bars from the rear, rotate the right side bar counterclock wise to lower the car and clockwise to raise the car. You adjust the left bar in the same manner, but rotate the bar clockwise to lower the ride height and counterclockwise to raise it.
Use this formula to correct ride height: (amount of required correction in inches) divided by .059 (number of splines rotated). Round off the number of splines to be rotated, such as 10.4 is read as 10.
Reinsert the bars, remembering to permanently mark the original factory indices, and temporarily mark your new splines corresponding to the factory indices. These may be marked permanently once you've verified the new ride height, but always distinguish them from the original factory reference marks.
Suc6!
