look in the manual, talks about so many mm drop/raise per spline on the swing arm to hub. of the torsion bar rear end (you can see the splines if you look hard)

ooh , five stud wheels eh ?!

nice ride....:)

i tried to get my brumby to sit a bit more level by lowering the rear (had to reset the torsion bars as someone before me had put them in wrong). I got it to sit more or less level, but then it sat on the rear bumpstops and the ride was really bad. I didn't want to cut them so i had to wind it up again. So if you want it to be lower than you have it now, then you will probably have to cut the bumpstops down or remove them alltogether. Adjusting the torsion bars was the easy bit.

Did you lower the front by cutting the springs, installing lower springs or coilovers?

I'm looking to buy a brumby and I am researching all the mods I want to do before I buy it, just to make sure I can do them myself.
