i have fitted lowered rear leaves and cut 2" from front coils the idea was to improve the look 8) compare before and after :) the rears were supplied by gme and are recambered 6" i fitted them and they looked no different so quick call 2 gme and we agreed to take out 3rd leaf refit van after paint and if 2 low refit said leaf. fronts are to see if 4"drop enough spring situated midway between b/joint and pivot point on wishbone so 2" on coil 4" at wheel in theory again see what it sits like rebuilt then a firm recommended by gme will make me rewound springs to suit only other problem is shocks may bottom out but these can be made shorter LEDA http://s164.photobucket.com/albums/u31/ ...
