what rims/tyres are you running? i had 15x195x65 and could get it to 90mm from the sills slammed on rails.

LOL! I'm running 195/60R14. 60mm off the sill? thats almost dangerous let alone no suspension movement

 

your speedo is out correct? from my calculation you need 195/55R15 so your speedo stays the same

have a play around with that.

yes it is challange being that low, reflectors on the road are like speed bumps. was not practical at all.

 

I do not have a working spedo, never have. getting that fixed soon.

 

I'm still curious on how you managed to be 2' lower than 110mm from the sills and still be legal?

you know the main leaf in your spring pack? the one with the eyes on it?

 

i got a spare pair of them. cut the eyes off and installed it flipped ontop of the old spring

 

ill measure it again tomorrow but a coke can fitted under there like a cock in a shirt sleeve

I can't see how that would produce and more 'low' than a reversed eye pack with added rebound leaf. You're running 2 1/2' blocks and standard bumps right?

no blocks man just the way i said in the previous post. std stops. don't ask how it works but it does LOL!

This is mind f@$king the shit out of me. could you possaible get pics?

 

see the top leaf with the eye on it? i got another one of those. cut the eyes off then flipped that leaf ontop of the leaf pack

 

kapish?

So in otherwords your saying the top leaf literally pulls the rear end down evel lower on the axle assembly.

the leaf i put in with the cut eyes pushes down on the stock leafpack therefore lowering it.

 

flipping the eyes = bump stops.

I understand completly what you have done, i just can't fathem how far you claim it has lowerd the car. fliped eye and 2 1/2 blocks got me to just above bumps, hard to picture just a fliped leaf getting the same result.

 

Fliping the eye itself would lower the pack a good 1' further than your 'cut eye fliped' to a stock pack method.

Evan speaks the holy truth.

You must have some pretty soft leaves Evan!

 

The shorter the leaf you flip, the lower you go.

there the std spring pack?

 

when ill be lowering emptycoffin's ke55. ill be flipping the 2nd leaf if i remember correctly this = 1/2 inch off bumpstops aswell

std bumps will not let you go any furthur than 130mm from sills. so you would be running 150mm ish from sills. hardly 2' lower.
