hey all
have lowered the ass end of the cortina a further 2 inches, may be a tad low but is a bout right, might try get some 1 and 1/2 inch blocks. anyways, now the front needs more work, as it looks like im carrying a boot load of dead bodys around. the springs in have already been cut (not by me) and the struts are brand new and have been shortened to keep current springs captive.
i was thinking of getting some mates to sit on the bonnet untill the front sits at a height im happy with, and then measureing the difference in height. this would give me the drop i need, obviously. now, ive been told that makita spec is better than compressing due to spring rate and sagging over time. is there a way to get the right drop by cutting? or is it hit and miss? i know that by compressing you can get pretty close to the exact drop you want, as the rario is approx 1:1. im going to need to get the struts shortened again either way.
also, apart from things (tyres, steering components) hitting other things, is there anything i need to be careful of when lowering a fair amount? it will be about 2inchslower than standard.
just wanted to clear a few things up before i start throwing money at it again
cheers
