bubblegoose Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 cant really see what you mean, are the leafs now on an angle? blocks not square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 u bolts all lined up parallel and tightened the same and tight etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Could try redoing your locating holes n pins on your blocks between the diff and leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 That's quite a substantial lowering with blocks. Get the leaves reset and stiffened to allow you to run no blocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Lower it properly Agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 your lowering blocks look too tall (illegal) and dont look like they even sit perpindicular to the ground,right hand side looks like its leaning inwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 You can legally run 2" once you go to 3" you require a tramp bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 How low are those blocks? Look wayyy more than 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 leaf springs always look funny when jacked up. Just put the wheels on it and drive it around. It's horse&cart suspension so I wouldn't worry about it. The leaves in my capri when I take them out look weird, different amount of bend in them! I put them in and they're a bit wonky. Put the car down and no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 My advise, get rid of the blocks, and get the leafs reset.. Its what I did.. Well worth the $120 it cost me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 m0ss4yy, did you get another leaf put in or was it stiff enough with the factory springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Was going to get another leaf in for super stiffness But it rides nice as is, rubs on the guards a bit cause I haven't rolled them yet, that's my project for Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Cheers I'll be running standard skinny as tyres so shouldn't be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 with regards to getting extra leaves, it can be quite important. sometimes. i got my cortinealeaves set dead falt (ie as low as u can) and the dude was like normally i would convince you to get another leaf put it, but i already had an extra one on for some reason (think the leafs were from a higher spec model) so yeh, have a think about it. last thing you want is a soft ride when your only an inch or two from bump stops...... prerty sure its only like 20 buks or something for another leaf anyway. could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 it was $50 a leaf at the place moss went to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 $50 a leaf if i supplied the leaf off another set of springs.. He said more if he were to supply it, so I'd say somewhere around an extra $80-100 for the leaf to be added, then a lil more as u would need new centrebolt.. (Unles your standard 1 is ridiculously long of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nah man, just the escort Cant say I know from experience, but a couple guys I know have lowered escorts and reckon its a struggle if you want any passengers and recommend an extra leaf. If i had a lil more cash i would have got an extra one aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
