Why not cut off 1 coil?

rear cut 1 coil out, front cut down the alloy blocks between the body and the leaf by 1mm.. if you need more you'll need to buy a lowered front spring..

One of the other guys might be able to help here as mine was done on top of a reverse eye spring with a leaf removed and a camber mod..

Thanks my dad has told me to concentrate on getting it going first but I want to know how to get it down on the ground!It is my first car .He has given me wheels he bought as spares for his Uno turbo's-mk 2's both.he also has some Intergrale wheels off his -that are 14 inch which are around.i presume all will fit as same group? Does anyone go down smaller/fatter  route like Germany and now over here with Polo's etc .
Thanks Jacob
