Are you talking about flipping the rear leafs upside down? Been there-terrible ride. The "free" way to lower the rear & still get a stock ride is to relocate the axle above the leafs. In front, find F10 struts(fatter & tighter coils) and cut out 2 or 3 coils and/or heat the coils till they drop to desired height. Beware, if you go too low up front, you won't be able to turn! I found some 12" rims for the front and 13" in the rear. I've been trying to scan photos but don't know how. Anyway, this is what I did back in'88. I'm now trying to find another sedan.

That looks pretty mean. You need to flare the front guards a bit, and get some nice wide wheels under the front too. A bit of a polish-job for the paint. Then you are ready for some cruisin..

I like it, it looks cool,so you reversed the eyes on the leaf springs, I got mine decambered 2 inches low, I was told I can add the extra inch(lower it 1 more inch) by reversing the eyes,but first I will finish my front, do not want to end with the front taller than the rear. You mention 4 coils, what about your shocks, are those hitting bottom now? ( I read you are getting Stanza's front suspension) . I will have to flare the front and rear, because I use 13X8 wheels w 215/50/13's, but the end result will be monstruos. I plan 235/50/13 for the rear.

HAving different diamter wheels on your car is defectable, so look out for the cops.

How is your clearance on the back?
