Advice on lowering mk2 van

Hi,
Going to lower 2 inches my 1976 1.6 Escort mk2 van have blocks and springs what else should I change/replace at the same time. Anyone got any advice or bits they might want to sell? It will be just a daily driver.
Thanks,
Greg P

    Put new bushes in the leaf springs. This will help to reduce axle tramp.

    It's not me, it's you.....

    hi when i did my suspension put gaz adjustable shocks on front and rear what work really well depends how far you want to go and how much you want to spend.
    spec i did was
    rs2000 multi leaf springs on rear with 1" drop
    power flex and super pro bushes all the way round
    gaz adjustable shocks front and rear
    coil over front legs fully adjustable with 180lbs springs
    rubber mounted bearing top mounts
    twin cam front anti roll bar with double width mounts
    car now handles like a dream ride is not to harsh but corners like its on rails did this on a mk2 4door but should be the same result on your van
