I am thinking I must have too much time to spare The Cortina is being dismantled this winter in an attempt to fit a bigger better gearbox, im fed up changing broken LT77s so im upgraging to a Supra box with a homemade rose jointed remote quickshift. Whilst I was laying under the car just thinking about my task ahead, for some reason I started looking at the rear end, springs to be exact, I am using Capri singles at the moment with 2" lowering blocks, the springs were dearched by Leda and are nearly flat. I hate lowereing blocks and want to get rid of them as they have made the car harder to launch without spinning the tyres, but I still want to keep the car at the same ride height, I know I can go beck to Ledas and get the springs dog legged but they look shite and dont work very well. I was wondering if there are any real reasons why I cant turn the spring over to in effect reverse eye the spring and have it re-arched to give some spring back into them, i can see the obvious one would be is you are supporting the weight of the car on the eyes rather than on the spring and would that be a major concern??.
