Technically yes, and absolutely no. There are no torsion bars. You may be seeing the leaf springs from the frame to the subframe. The subframe must maintain its height relative to the frame because otherwise the drivetrain will be out of alignment. There is no adjustment available here.
Technically yes, you can lower the car without cutting the springs. You replace the springs with custom ones, or you use bags.
