Hello All,
Doing a few bits and bobs on my Fiat 127 project - but a little stumped on how to lower the rear.
For those that don't know it has a transverse multi-leaf spring only mounted at either end. I'm looking to lower it (at least 2 inches) but cheaply!
Only ways I have found are decambering / flattening the leaf springs (either properly or with a hammer and smashy-smash adjustment) or the use of lowering blocks - is this even possible with a FWD car and just pack between the leaf and the wishbone?
I have read on one website that you can just pack-out the lower mount on the leaft spring clamp and I guess that will let it sit further down.
Thanks in advance - will be some updated picturesin the reader ride thread in a couple of weeks once a bit more work has been done.
Thanks,
Duncan
