Yeomans22 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hi i got some lowering block for my escort mk2, when i try at put them in there seem to be a huge gap between then and the leaf, on the bottom of the block there is a small roound bit and on the other side a bigger bit which looks to be made of rubber. can anyone explain how to lower it and which way round the blocks go, do i have to remove any other parts to make them fit correct? Paul.
Twinkle Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 will take some pics of how mine are fitted today at some point for you bud
over_head_cam Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 There is a bolt through the spring and the head of it should go into a recess on the lowering block. Post up a pic and show us what you've got m8 I normally chuck all the rubber stuff away
Yeomans22 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 Cheers everyone, ive sorted it now, the bloack were second hand and had a bit of ruber and a metal ring stuck in the bigger hole which i had to smash out with a chisel, but it work ok,, Ive got some pics to up just so someone can tell me if i have done it correct, but my computer is a bit nakkered atm. Are the leaf spring ok being bent more than b4 as they look very wierd? Paul.

Chris! Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Ive a question about lowering blocks, forgive my ignorance in advance But say you drove with erm enthusiasm could those blocks pop out????? nope, theyre located with a prong and a hole for your leaf prong
Chris! Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks fleet your welcome, i explain things well
PaulAshman Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Looking good mate, perfect stance. Just get the front done and you'll be sorted. I know when I got mine done with blocks at the back first it looked a bit daft but once I got the front done it fills you with pride of how cool the car looks.
Tom Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 mate, i'm sure the blocks should sit directly on the spring and the rubber pad and metal plate sit on top of the block
Yeomans22 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 cheers everyone ive got the front springs will have a go at them on the weekend. car goes for bodywork 4 weeks today, so will like to have it all fitted b4 then,
