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) :tard:
Any help, advise or pics please!!!

Here you go have a read of this CLICKYME (http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/other-mechanical-electrical/449391-lowering-leaf-springs.html)

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

and this would be a flipped axle

Axle flip is the way the ford connect is done lol and drops 4inch

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??

i think southies got the pics the wrong way round, my axel is below the leaf springs, and im gonna flip it to the to, so it will lower it, A LOT! :)
