look under the car where the torsen bar tubes are. Near the rear of the lower control arm pivot point is a nut, the nut controls the ride height. According to the old Helm, one turn of the nut will change the ride height by 5mm or .2" Loosen the nut to lower the car.
If you want it lower than the nut adjustment allows, you have to pull the torsen bars out and file/grind/mill out the missing spline and then reinstall them one spline over - from the factory the splines are "keyed" so they can't be installed more than one way. You'd be making them so they could be installed more than one way....

If you really want to lower it get some bigger torsions from OPM Motorsports and crank that bolt all the way down. Its gonna ride like crap but itll be lower!
