rears only lower in 40mm steps as each spline on the torsion bar lowers it 40mm

Thats because there is two ways to lower a torsion bar, one is by splines, which is quite common, the other is to remove the torsion bars and reset them to the exact mm you want them

to lower it in smaller steps you have to take both ends out the torsion bar and that is very very hard to do and you probably need the axle to be off
