Richard Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 hey how are you all? I want to deck my ke55 but I'm not sure where to get the lowering blocks for the rear... For those that have decked there rollas what steps are needed!!! for rear? Cheers Richard. Quote
Des Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 You can makke your own lowerinng blocks to the sizee you wannt or head to autobahn as they sell them. Longer U bollts will be needed aswell. Rolla_boy is the king of low for ke sedans.. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 The best way to lower the rear of your corolla is to get the leaves reset, or if you are dodgy like me, you can flip 2 leaves over, and it will put it on the bump stops. Lowering blocks suck Quote
mattress Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Agreed, lowering blocks do suck. I had 2 rear leaves reset with the eyes reversed with 2 new leaves as well as a new leaf in my transverse leaf and it reset for 200.... Resetting 2 rear leaves should be cheap as chips... Quote
Aleks Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 yup ... when it comes to corolla mods you're definitely got a guru there in rollaboy ... as he said, the ideal way of lowering a leaf sprung car is to have the springs reset ... closely followed by just flipping springs ... but I have to admit the only problem i've had with lowering blocks is that the ol' beastie is more or less on bump stops and the ride is fairly unforgiving ... but then again ... they're 3" blocks :'( Quote
anastasios Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 yea don't get lowering blocks does the same job as flipping the springs, the best value would be to get them reset, i have mine flipped atm and there is no suspension travel in the rear at all, its funny watching girls titties bounce haha but reallll dangerous so i will be getting them done properly now Quote
josh86 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 what about just flipping a single, not two springs? is that going to lower it, but not as much? Quote
Raven Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 how about you invert a spring pack to bring the axle up higher while also increasing the spring rate to lower the car? Quote
styler Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 yeah good advice above, definately don't go lowering blocks. at $100 anyway! rather invert the leaf pack and add a leaf if wanted, its the best way to lower a mild amount, which retains the original suspension travel. else if after more lowering, invert and reset at a slightly lower height.

toybox Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 how about you invert a spring pack to bring the axle up higher while also increasing the spring rate to lower the car? what do you mean by invert a spring pack like flip them over? got any photos Quote
anastasios Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 with my 55 i just flipped the whole pack over as they are and it sits hard on the bumpstops Quote
