    Fill the back with heaps of bricks. Also, bags of cement works too.


    Or you could get lowering blocks or have the leaves reset/flipped.

    flipping the leaf springs would be the easiest way.

    I must not have been thinking straight yesterday, I have a Ke70 wagon in my front yard that I can use as a template, I could make up a big pile of them for whoever was interested.

    For the record, not ALL of the leafs can be flipped, the bottom one (which becomes the top) hits the leaf mounts. You could possibly grind this away though.

    You can however flip one or two leafs from your leaf pack. Or if you manage to find a longer sender pin that fits the hole, you can add a leaf.

    Depending on your use of the car, I would be aware of what blocks can do to your car. If its a daily car that may see a bit of rain every now and then, then by all means lowering blocks are a cheap an easy alternative. However if you intend on drifting it properly, blocks can cause lots of unwanted axle tramp.

    Resesting the leafs is also another option as mentioned.

    You could akways do what I did and find some hillbilly to make you some awesome low and stiff leafs from scratch. It will cost you though.

    As for the front, just read around the forum and lower the same way as any other KE/AE driver has lwered theres depending on your cars main use.

    What? The whole leaf pack in a KE can be flipped?

    When I did it, the bottom leaf (which becomes the top) would hit the front mount on the body of the car. So much so that it wouldnt go up high enough for the holes to line up.
