PS I HAVE ASK MY MECH AND HE WASNT KEEN ON THE IDEA ...WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS

You can "adjust" the torsion bars to maintain the correct height but don't go overboard. You should leave 1/3 clearance to the top bump stop and 2/3 to the bottom. This will allow the suspension to work properly with out riding on the bump stops. There's no point having a few extra millimetres height if the suspension isn't moving. Winding the bars up too much will overstress them and they will lose their memory. This means they will not flex any more and will gradually get weaker. If you over stress them too much, they will snap.
