Escort Van ride height question.....
This is a little hard to explain so bear with me...
Im going to lower my escort van by doing the axle on top of the leafs trick. I will have a set of 195/50-15's on the van and I DON'T want to have to roll the arches. I want all the wheels to be able to be seen through the arches... not "tucked in" if you know what I mean? I will lower the rear then raise it up a little bit on blocks if I need to to get the right height then get the correct springs to match the front.
I hear doing the axle trick will take it down about 80mm and I'm assuming that will be too much for the 15" wheels? (correct me?)
Can anyone share their vast experience with me and tell me what size springs I will need for the front? (or how many coils to cut... did I say that out loud???)
Also...I heard (read) a myth that Peugeot rear shocks will fit an escort van. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
