Sorry if this has been asked before but can anyone recommend any lowering blocks that would fit the B210?
Thanks

No, nothing availible in the UK. i think there might a difference between easy and late though.
for my late B210 i had to weld my own up. the aftermarket ford escort type are no good as the locating pin is very different.
not sure if i had a picture. there is a u shaped piece that sits over the spring pack and rubber isolation block. i got a spare pair of the u shaped piece of metal which has the locating pin and welded it on top of the original part. then used longer U bolts. they were possibly the aftermarket ford type...?

Ok, so you welded 2 of the U shaped pieces together top to bottom? Hmmm there isn't going to be a straight forward (cheap) way of doing this is there...

the way i did it was very cheap and easy? just need to make sure the welding is decent quality.

I mean it would be tricky to find a spare pair of those u shaped pieces.
Mines a sedan so the plate in question is lengthened with the shock absorber mount on it, but I'm sure theres no reason i could adapt a coupe plate an weld to it, what do you think?

Sounds interesting. This is one of my next jobs. Are longer U bolts with same width easy to come by?
