    Lowered Scamp

    So, this 71 Scamp I just bought was lowered by the previous owner. It looks kinda nice so i think i will leave it like that. But it is not even. How does one go about adjusting the torsion bars? What tools do i need? Does the car need to be on the ground, or does the weight need to be...
