htwn-escort-boy Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 alright well its been a while since i done anything. orginaly i was going to put 3 inch blocks in the back and cut the fronts. so i put the blocks in and the u bolts where about 5mm to short, so i thort id just take the bottom 2 leafs out and that would sort that problem, so i talked this threw with dad and he suggested that i also flip the main spring cause that would also lower it at least an inch, so while i had the springs apart i fliped th emain and took 2 leafs out, put it back together and it was LOW...............................to low(as much as i hate to say it) was sitting on bump stops and cause i had fliped the spring is had changed the spring rate causing the diff head to twist and hit the floor everytime i gave the gas pedal a boot. so i took the 3 inchs out and put 2 inchs in, same problem, took the 2 inchs out and put 1 inch in, problem solved until i took 3 people in the back, so now it has no problem at all, with people in it, now to the front, i took 1 1/2 coils out of it and droped it 80mm and sitting exactly where i want it. now photos of it lower. while at beach hop i stuck a deal with dads mate and bought 2 airbags, got a air conditioning pump but might change it for another one depends if i can change the pully or not, so im starting to collect parts for it, i also have a 318 V8 valient motor siting in the shed waiting for a rebuild.
