    Default Corsa B Combo van slammed pics wanted Please.

    cant seem to find any pics of corsa combo vans lowered, or any info on lowering them , they're on leaf springs at the back.
    Ive never done it personally but heard of 2 ways, flipping the axel to the top of the leaf springs, or flipping the leaf springs upside down(unsure of this)
    Any help, advise or pics please!!!

    Here you go have a read of this CLICKYME

    Not on a combo but this would be a standard axle position...


    and this would be a flipped axle

    Don't mess with the leaf springs, but you could flip the axle. Make sure the load sensing valve is still in the right place afterwards, or mucho crasho might happen if you have to anchor up

    Surely blocks between the axle and the leaf springs (with the axle in the normal position) will do the job.

    Wouldnt flipping the axle raise the ride height??

    They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
