Escort Van Lowering

Featured Replies

any one got a tut or know ways how to lower a escort 55 van i heard about the axle flip but anyone got a tut on how



Well I'll be doing this aswell soonish hopefully just gotta fix my welder :) basically the principal seems to be remove the complete rear axel and leafs then where it's bolted and welded underneath them you take it apart and fit it on top of the leafs :D apparently this drops it quite a lot and is still safe so I'll soon be finding out ;)

Others say heat the leafs at the end so the weight of the van pushes them straighter instead of being their normal crescent moon shape :)

Just been watching this awesome american guys version of how to do it all on YouTube it's really good, yeah drops it quite a bit and and can do it even more too without having to pay out the earth :D

But on the front instead of buying adjustable coilovers (which cost a lot) I'd get lowering springs, dead cheap, do the same job just a lower firmer ride and should level you out :)

Airbag ride it!!! Bit expensive but you can park your puppy straight onto the ground.....

How much is that though bud and do you do it yourself?? :)
