Chaps
My rebuilt beam is on the floor at the moment making it really easy to change the torsion bars over. I have marked the arm and the beam tube itself to make sure the ride height remains the same. Ie I can put the new bars in and make sure the marks line up.
Heres the pinch.
I am putting 21mm bars in instead of 20mm. Due to the extra stiffness and therefore less sag will I have to make adjustments to take this into account. Eg if the ride height of the beam with 20mm bars was -30mm and I put stiffer bars in will it sit higher set the same ?

Thanks in advance.

yes of course it will sit higher LOL

You want around 314 between dampers to give a 30mm drop on 21's.

30mm drop on 20's is around 322.
