Hi does anyone know a good way to lower the front of my mk2 cortina 1300, I don't really want to cut the springs. Are the rs2000 -2" escort springs the right diameter as standard escort springs aren't, The back now has 2" lowering blocks. Thanks

One way I've seen is to cut the lower spring cups off and remount lower thus keeping original springs.

I used capri springs on mine.

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

Capri and Escort springs are both a different size and don't fit the seat very well, the best way to lower it, is fit lotus or 1600e struts, they have a 1" lower spring platform, but thats a giving you a task of finding a pair of legs,
the next best way to lower the car will be fit adjustable spring platforms, the kits are available from Rally design for not a lot of money, you don't need to go over 180 lb springs, thats plenty stiff enough if you want to keep your fillings.

So Escort and Capri, rs or not are both narrower diameter, so it's out with the welder then, cheers
