Mk4 Escort van lowering?

Just got myself a mk4 van so wondering what's the options for lowering the rear?
is just a case of swapping the beam to the other side of the leaf springs?

Yea that's what I've done to my mk 6 and I'm sure they are the same rear axle. It gives 80-100mm drop so will be on its ass

Here is mine

Years ago Fibresports used to sell de-cambered leaf springs (basically flatter!). Didnt lower it as much as the above but definitely dropped it down! Not sure if FS are still about though....

Cheers chaps, i'll have a scout about some more then. I'd prefer it still to have suspension travel if possible, but also want to spend as little as possible on it lol.
