i used to have some! someone gave me them thinking my suspension was spring over axle cause i wanted to lift it lol will keep a look out for you though... :thumbup:



UPDATE:
there are some on ebay but seem to be for ford cortina's etc, not sure if they would be any good?
also on ebay i found landrover lift blocks which should do the same job really...

Either have some made or make some?

Then just find some extended U-bolts

yea, thats a good idea guys. il have to start taking measurements to see if any other kits will fit, or make my own. would have been nice and lazy if there already existed a kit, hehehe

Id say its case of getting some fabricated up/make a set yourself.

As ive just had a look and could find anything but ill keep looking for you :D

Look on mk1/2 ford escort websites, greystone do a kit, as in the people who make those cast wheel spacers.

Personally I want to give flipping the main leaf a try, that'll lower it 1" and combined with running the flattest leafs possible it would sit nice and low.
