Default Lowering my mk2

Hey guys,

I've got a mk2 panelvan and i want to lower it around 2" all around.

It is purely a street vehicle with no real performance targets so i'm looking to do it relatively cheaply....

Rears - just thinking of using lowering blocks

Front - was thinking of changing the springs??? Is it possible to get a lower spring than the king spring superlows (only 1.5" lower)

I've been researching and adjustable coilovers was brought up, but for that I would need to get a kit that seems to be only available for 2L struts... and is a lot more expensive... Is it possible to do this by just changing the springs?

Thanks in advance

yep...mr lon is right

pedders can do all ..they have the parts no problems ..2 inch would look just nice on that car....
you can buy from the uk shop around but when it cames to real heavy things the price just get pumped up big time ..
so you realy have to look at the money both sides ...here and uk..at least here if it wroung you can take back.
no problems uk small pain.......
