The job won't be cheap mate. A lot of work is envolved and some serious kit to buy. BTW thats my 40 quid I dropped it when I was cutting your brake lines... DOH!

well as it happens james johny had an old axle in his garden so he had a play with that to see about doing the torsion bars. but he lost all tension in them. so should it be on a car it wud just be on its arse with arches resting on wheels
