Reindexing Torsion Bars?

this may be a stupid question but i am wanting to lower a mazda that i just got. i read some stuff on here about reindexing torsion bars. I am wondering how you do this and what the pros and cons are. Also i would love to see some pictures of what kind of ride height you get out of this. any advise on suspension is welcome and much appreciated.

bump, i'm interested in doing this too. can anyone on here with more experieince give us some pointers or link us to a good thread that details how to do this exactly and how much of a drop we can get. thanks.

Stumbled across this on the forum. It should help you out.

damn, that's a great help. how much drop can we expect?

All depends on how far you want to go. I know backkkkkkkk in the day when i first lowered mine, the front crossmember was about 3 inches off the ground and I had to reindex the torsion bar to get that low and also to keep the rear of the torsion bar (the anchor end) from hanging down pass the frame (Long story short friend of did this with out reindexing the rear of the torsion bar and it come incontact with something and it wasn't good, ripped the torsion bar right out of the frame mount). What reindexing allows you to do is keep the rear of the torsion bar from sticking down pass the frame when you lossen the bolt on the anchor end. You really don't want that to come incontact with the road or ground and get hit. Cause as you loosen the anchor bolt on the back of the torsion bar it starts to turn down towards the ground. So this reindexing allows you to put the end back up inside the frame area and not hanging down. You will see what I'm talking about when start to loosen the rear anchor bolt. Hope that helps.
