Put the front of the car up

Put the front of the car up on axle stands. These need to be under the chassis, not the wish bones. The front suspention needs to be hanging free.
Look on the inner side of the chassis rails (roughly under where the front seats are) to find the adjustes. These are litteraly big bolts on the end of the tortion bars. Tighten both of these up BY THE SAME NUMBER OF TURNS. You will need to use some trial and error to get the hight you want.

The other end? The other end of the torsion bar? No. The other end of the bolt? If memory serves, there should be one locking nut, and one fixed nut. The bolt winds throught the fixed nut to adjust the ride hight. I will look under mine later on (if weather improves).
