Can you flip the front leaf spring around to lower the front end???

[bis13]

maybe so but "your needs" equate to making the car dangerous for the sack of image? dont get me wrong as i agree with what you are trying to do however the lowering and control of the car should go hand in hand and one not compromised for the other. surely if you are trying to get so low you must have issues with the bodywork by now unless you are running cycle tyres?

like i said before the reverse eye will drop instantly 30 to 40 mm , shave the spring supports and thats another 10 to 12 mm and this is to have no adverse effects on the handling it only improves it. whereas if you wish to go lower then you need to start looking at relacing the leaf spring with a wishbone unit and chucking on some coilovers .
if you keep a flimsy leaf spring and chuck coilovers on then that will not stop the flex caused at the point where the spring is connected with the knuckles and all in all just look gucci with no real effect other than on your pocket.
hope you get to zero mm clearance as i think its well trick i get this stance by letting the local scum come round and steal my wheels.  [-/

I just had mine relaxed by a nice man down the road, took it apart, put the locating top leaf (10) on the bottom or vice versa, bolted it all back up and voilà, one slammed 126.  It sits right on the bottom of the shocks and po-go's along though so suspension and any kinda handling are things of the past.

you need to change the shocks if they are bottoming out- I used air cooled rear shocks on the front of mine...it will problee then sit low enough for you, Id still go the reverse eye route to be fair if just gives you a good head start on getting it in the weeds without adversly affecting the handing as it doesnt upset the suspension geometry so much.

Was trying to upload a photo of my new rims...but was getting onto...until ive saved enough pocket money I was planning on swapping the the shocks around as I run bigger tyres up back and dont mind the jacked up back end stance (135/70's & 135/80's at the mo but havent decided on tyre choice for the newbies as yet).

Sorry, drifted off topic there, in summary from me, yes you can flip the front spring but at the sacrifice of many other desirable attributes.
