I would go down the IRS route like Dixiethekid said.
This is mine and i'm not quite finished yet. Wasn't too difficult to do.
Sorry about the quality as ive just used my phone camera.

cheers for the help guys i managed to source a capri axle ive removed one leaf and 2 inch lowering blocks, any ideas on the front suspension now ive removed the spacer blocks on the subframe but it still isnt low enough any idea what tye of shocks and springs to use and what dro cheers ben

Gazzzer

Ben. the P100 front shock absorbers are about 2" longer than a standard sierra ones thats why the 2" spacers are there. Its to clear the standard P100 larger wheels and tyres. If want to go lower then a pair of normal sierra ones will lower the front with saloon springs. I have used standard saloon shocks and -40mm springs and the front has dropped about 3 1/2".

ive got a chance off a set of koni front shocks with 30mm srings will his give me a decent ride hight along wih the spacers removed btq i have 15 inch wheels fitted sorry if im sounding dull lol if it was a vauxhall i wouldnt be asking all these questions haha. thaugh id ry the ford scene cheers guys

Gazzzer

Yeah that should be ok.
I'm going to use cosworth lattice wheels and mine seems to look ok. It will probably drop a bit more when its settled.

bishy15

ive takin 2 leafs out o he rear suspension and it sill hasnt dropped alot its doin my nut in now any suggesions guys

Gazzzer

2" lowering blocks!!!!!

bishy15

forgot to ut that in i also have 2 inch lowering blocks and 2 leafs removed but still not low enough

Gazzzer

There is only so much you can do without doing major surgery. If you want to keep leaf springs then you are going to need to get some decambered springs. But then you run the risk of hitting the axle case on the chassis rails if you go too low.
I dont know who or where to get some.
If you are on facebook there is a group dedicated to P100's and they are quite knowledgeable. P100 Owners.
I think we need a proper owners club and forum just for P100's.

bishy15

i think your rite bring on the p100 owners

bishy15

right guys im thinkingof changing my rear axle to irs how do i attach the front bushes on the beam as i cant seem to see this on any of the threads cheers ben
