MK 2 2 DOOR ESCORT REAR LOWERING

HI Craig

I'm sure the ones in the know will chime in and say otherwise but I'll be looking at the reverse eye option. This lowers the car by approx 1.5" (from memory) and does not de-cambre the spring like it would if you just reset them lower.

Just my thoughts.........

PS i also have the 4 leaf van springs.

Paul is correct with the lowered height, it can be upto 2inch if lucky by reverse eyeing leafs. it also keeps the shape the spring needs to be to absorb bumps as on std leafs.
Industrial Spring Makers will do the conversion, its cheaper if you pull the spring apart and take in the main leafs only.

4 leaf PV springs will RAISE the car at the rear by about an inch, but depending on how sagged your exisiting springs are of course...

On my cars I tend to use the PV 4 leaf, but with the smallest leaf removed... The remaining 2 non main springs are longer than the normal 2 non main springs and therefore heavier, but this does not lower the car. To lower I either turn the smaller tertiary spring upside down, (approx -1") or the secondary leaf upside down (approx -3") , but the preference is yours...

I spent $300 on getting the old Facon springs proffessionally reset and then the car got written off 1 month later, so I don't plan on that again...
