VERY easy.

You don't need any modification parts to lower the front. Either adjust the torsion bar adjuster next to the main chassis crossmember, and / or turn the torsion bars one spline to give further adjustment.

To lower the back you just need lowering blocks which fit in between the axle and springs (available from most Minor places).

I thought the days of lowered cars were over, with the introduction of speed humps, better fit a sump guard!

Mine is lowered by about 1 1/2 - 2 inches at the front. Not too radical, and the rear is standard height. (I like the stanced look).

It does not look lowered when standing on it's own, only when parked next to standard ride height Moggies.

If that height is OK for you then just move the torsion bars by one spline each and that should give you the required stance!

Mmmmmmmm......stance....... :D
