The Fiesta doesn't have a torsion bar... 106's and Saxo's do etc... Only torsion setup in a fiesta is the ARB if you have one and the beam to an extent, but thats nothing to do with suspension height.

Hope this helps:

aaaaaaaah thankyou mate :) now i know where i got the wrong idea from..

im thinking as the spax struts are the same shape as the fiesta items i might just get some lower springs for the back.

thanks for your help mate
