leaf springs, lowering (adding extra leaf)

[79rolla]

hey looking at how i am going to lower my ke30
i have some 2inch lowering blocks in my arts car that i am looking at getting cut down to just one inch, s i ave that sorted
but while i am doing this i also want to stiffen it u a bit, so was thinking i would just add another leaf.

my problem is i am not sure about this procedure, witch leaf is the best to dubble up? what do i do about the locator things (loops that stop the leaves from moving sideways at the end of each leaf) or do i need to buy a diferent length leaf??

you can get your leaf springs reset or flattend a guy on trademe was doing it a while ago it lowers them i think it also stiffens them try a harder rate of shocks in my escort i ended up with hard as hq holden shocks stiffend the arse end up nicely stopped a heep of body roll because the back ones were farked it had 2 inch blocks id recomend getting 1 inch blocks rather than modifying the 2 inch ones

as iv stated befour im kinda short of cash atm but dnt wanna wait any longer to get my car back on the road.

so i cnt relly get springs reset, have already investigated this option and the benifits arnt worth the mony to me atm

well just try some stiff as shocks blocks arent that expensive i paid around 150 a set for mine shocks around 250 300 or a set even cheaper if you have the hookups

getting springs reset is around the $140 mark ( thats what i paid at snells springs last time)

in my opinion worth it, from what i understand they can usually lower and retension them to suit your requirements
