March 12, 201610 yr comment_703595 Archm Industries in Bayswater Victoria Australia sells lowering blocks 1inch to 3inch for jap and ozzy diffs check on ebay under 1-2-3 inch KE20 lowering blocks. Hope this is helpful Report
March 15, 201610 yr Author comment_703635 Thanks fella, will have a look. I really must look at emigrating to Aus as you guys seem to be able to get classic Jap car parts so much easier than us folks here in the UK. Report
May 20, 201610 yr comment_704660 Buy another set of leave springs for a ke20 pull the pack apart and cut 2" off the ends of each leaf, pull your springs out of the 20 and separate them and repack them using the other one staggering them in order of length, make sure the second leads is inverted, bolt them all back together and put them back in the car, this effectively lowers the car 2" and doubles the load carrying capacity and stiffens the shit of the rear end, also its legal where as lowering blocks aren't.

July 11, 201610 yr Author comment_705436 Finally got my car riding just how I wanted it. In the end I lowered it by using 1.5 inch lowering blocks on the rear for a Mk1 Ford Escort and Mk2 Ford Escort rear shocks to compensate for the drop. On the front I used a 1.5 inch lowered spring with AW11 38mm dia early rear strut inserts with a small 20mm or so spacer to ensure a perfect fit. Running 6J 13" TWR alloys with 185-60-13 tyres keeps the speedo near true and the tyres are clear of the fenders. The ride is hard but not uncomfortably so. Did not get the TE27 wide track look that I was looking for but that will come when I get my 4AGE conversion sorted in the next year or so. Thanks to Pete and all who shared their knowledge and wisdom. (i would have posted a picture but have yet to work out how to do it on here) Edited July 11, 201610 yr by corollaTE27Fan Report
