Ok, so i know most people, if not everyone, is going to say that reset springs is always preferable to lowering blocks in the back of a car, but in everyones opinion is it worth the money and the hassle???

I'm most likely just gonna throw blocks in the back of my ute and just put new shocks and bushes in at the same time to try and counteract the rigidity a little, cause i'm working on a budget, but i just wanted peoples opinions.

Also what sort of price is it to get the springs reset??? I have heard differeng opinions so just wanted to hear what peoples experience is with the cost of doing it.

Cheers

The rigidity of the ride wont change as you aren't changing the springs. With blocks you are just moving the axel upwards away from the springs.
If you are going to change bushes and shocks as well as put lowering blocks in you are disassembling the whole rear end anyway. So why not pull it apart and take the springs away to be reset?
You will end up with a better handling car as well as a lower car, as blocks will make the car handle worse.
As for price, just ring around some of your local suspension joints for idea of what it will cost. You'll save some dollars by pulling them out yourself and taking them down ready to go.
Blocks are a cheap way to lower your car for 'looks' But resetting the springs gives you the looks with the extra handling ability, which afterall, is the real reason for lowering a car.

with mine when i put blocks in, the handling seems to have stayed the same, the only downside is that now when ever im trying to drift around a corner or rip a burnout, i just get horrendous axle tramp

the axle tramp is because there is more leverage on the springs to twist them.
I have never had any trouble with lowering blocks, they are cheap and they are effective.
Even cheaper would be to rearrange your leafpack.

go the rearranging the leaves, its what all the cool people do

Go the spring resetting, it only cost me about $250 and they gave them to me at the exact ride hight i wanted. That even included new bushes.
Another thing is that i get no axel tramp now, when before i did.

Do it right, do it once.
Are we auto enthusiasts because we genuinely want to make our cars better, or are we just a bunch of ill educated, back yard Dodgey Brothers mechanics?

I know what I'm doing with my back springs & longer 'U' bolts are not involved.

owch!

im a back yard mechanic...does that mean im dodgy

Your call.
I'm a back yard mechanic too, but I like to think that I do things right.
