Yowzer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wack some 50mm blocks in there. The leaves are looking pretty flat already so I doubt there's much more you can get out of them alone. I don't know the details of running reverse arch but I don't think it's recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yeah, 50mm blocks, put the rest of it together, full tank of gas and some bro's in the back might settle them out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yeah you're missing a fair bit of weight. Finish the car then reassess the height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matteybean Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 I had my bro (dave123456789) standing in the boot he weighs 85 kg n it only dropped it another 10 off its current height . To get it to sit 100 mm off the ground which is what I wanna have it sitting at I would need 3" blocks !? How would that make the car handle ? Shocks are also brand new. It was sitting jacked as already . My old cream shell has a leaf flipped n that sits about 70 mm off ground with 15s .. Could the leafs be wrong ? Seems weird still 140 mm of guard gap after reset leafs ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Talk to your leaf man. Can't run more that 50mm blocks legally. Standing in the boot won't tell you jack shit. Put the car together first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Put your car together then report back. Also make sure the rear spring shackles are jamming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 50mm blocks, and if you still want it lower, you can get the eyes on the main leaf flipped around for another ~2 drop i believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The springs will settle. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'd flip the eye leaf and think about yucky blocks later 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 i notice you said the creme car had a flipped leaf, that probably flipped the eye too then giving so much low though as said, i would put the rest of the car back on, (even if you take it back off right after) cause its pretty anoying to have to reverse work, could probably even get away with just sitting all the parts in their rough areas, and put the doors on the seats etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Did you specify reset lower? Looks like they been reset to standard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
