Hi
After have changed "all" parts in my suspension last year I felt that the rear end was a bit high and I want to get it down a bit.
Is there any company selling lowering blocks ? I have tried searching but can´t find anything. I could of course make some ones myself, but Í thought I should check if anyone selling them.
Thanks guys :thumbsup:
I must have been a bad searcher, couldn´t find any before.

I don´t have enough power (as always )
But maybe in the future. Where could you find the iron ones ?
And is it a big problem with alu ones and bigger engines ?

I only needed a 1/2" block so made it from steel plate. If you can find a longer center pin for your springs (the pin is actually just a bolt with a funny head) you can just bolt the lowering block to the top of the spring with the new pin.
There is another option, aside from lowering blocks.
I know your title says "one inch", but have you thought about replacing your multi leaf springs with a new set from "Global West?" The only drawback is that their multi leaf springs will lower your car 1 1/4".
Nick, true, everyone's taste is different, but,,,,,,,, your car is drop-dead gorgeous just the way it is. Jaw dropper too.:yes:
So, how's the weather in Sweden?

I had planes making them my self. Problem is that I live in a small town and it´s problem getting hold of material to build. And for the price of ten dollars (as they cost) I have problem motivate me

I have brand new Hotchkis multi leaf with 1.5" drop, and want another 1"

Thanks, it´s "quite" ok in that angle. A side photo would have shown the reason for lowering some more a bit better.
It´s just that extra touch up.
And the weather is is is.....cold. We have had -4 F for a while, but today it raised to 32 F :hurray:
I have Hotchkis upper arms and springs (1907F) and Protech adjustable dampers. But you cant "copy" the height by adding same parts. I had a plan of using the stock lower arm, but when putting the car together it felt wrong to use the stock arms (a bling ting ). Problem was I had empty my pocket on all the other parts so went a cheaper way and bought the "chinese" arms. But when taking the car down from the stands it felt like it went thru the floor . It was standing on the bumpstops. So I had to cut the spring cup loose and raise it 30mm and the weld them on again.
At the rear I have Hotchkis multi leaf (1.5" drop) and Protech adjustable dampers.
Wheels are Image Wheels, 3piece, 8 and 9.5 x 17"
On this photo you can see it a bit better, even if it´s not a perfect showing photo.
Thanks for all the info Nick. I could maybe see dropping the rear a touch, but I also like a little rake. I'd be driving it as it sets with a big smile.
Honestly I agree with others here: I like it as-is. Very nice stance. Looks agressive and doesn't look raised up in the back too much. If you drop it an inch I think it might look like the front is too high.
Yes, lower the rear some, its not 1982 anymore. ; )
Car looks VERY nice too. I have 3 inch drop in the rear on my car and love it!!!
