peteretep Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 for 220!! you can have anything done to them. ie original factory, lower it 2 inches and have another leaf added to it or whatever, im getting mine taken down 45mm and having another leaf added to make it a bit harder and as a cheap way to stop axle tramp, not that i'll have the power.

peteretep Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 because its a van it has heavy duty springs so maybe you could just take out the extra leaf then get it lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WESTCORT Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 leaves in upside down? haha wouldnt recomend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 you dont flip the leaves, escort vans have like 6cwt i think on them which means they have heavy duty rear leaves to handle extra weight, so without any weight in them it would sit as high as a kite. the way it is made stiffer is by ford adding an extra leaf, so take it out then your leaves are like a normal escort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest escort_boy Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 chop the front springs and blocks of cement in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
