Thanks for the advise. Danny_Ocean, that is nice looking car, ride height looks great with the fenders. I was worried before I dove into this that I was going to have the problem of the spring plates being stuck to the torsion bars, but it seems I was very lucky. I tried wiggling the hell out of the torsion bars, but they just won't let go of the car. I thought about hitting them, but I read somewhere to be careful not to damage the finish on these so that they don't start to rust. I want to keep the original bars for now, so I am treating them somewhat delicately. I am going to try and raise the height with the spring plate adjusting nuts. If I can get an inch out of them, I think I will be OK. If that doesn't work, then I guess I will have to get those bars out and turn them. I really don't want to give up and have to take the car to someone else to do this, I really enjoy doing it myself and would feel a little defeated if I couldn't do it, much more satisfying to drop the car stand back and look at a job well done! But the weather is really nice outside and the car is sitting on jacks and I want to drive. If I hammer (push) on one bar, will it push on the other one since both are stuck in the car?. I don have a G50 transmission, so the tube is straight trough. I was thinking I could hammer a little to break free the other side and then pull it out. I realize that with one bar out, you can push out the other bar with a pole, but what about one bar against the other? Anyone tried this?
