Default Torsion bars regulation

I changed rare torsion bars on 86' 930 and don't know on which height to regulate them. And from what place to determine this height.
Please help.

Thanks for your help.
Could you please answer from which point to determine height (26 mm - rear, 20 mm - front)?

Not sure what you mean but you measure desired height at the top of the wheel arch and you are in for a bit of trial and error.

Thanks.
So I need to measure the distance between the top of the wheel arch and ...? What is the second place to determine height?

The floor. If you just had the car on jacks you need to let it settle down. I have to drive mine to get it there. Have someone in the drivers seat and a full tank of fuel would help.

I believe the 26 mm / 20 mm dimensions you give would be the diameter of the bars themselves, not your height measurements.

After changing rear torsion bars left side of the car always getting lower than right side (about 2-3 cm).
Than I bought 2 "Axle support rear with possibility of adjustment" (part #: 91133300905) but anyway left side is lower (1.5 cm).

What could it be?

Sorry. I did not understand. What does it mean "get it on a rack"?

Is the chassis straight? None of them were ever completely dead on straight when the were new. That torsion bar might need to be indexed to the measurements of the chassis.
