This Grayston lowering block kit is designed for owners of Ford Escort Mk1 & Mk2, Capri, Anglia, and Cortina Mk1 & Mk2 vehicles with leaf spring suspension looking to lower the rear ride height by approximately 1 inch (25mm). The primary benefit is improved handling due to a reduced center of gravity. A potential caveat is the need for professional installation and potential modification or alignment checks.

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for Ford Escort Mk1 & Mk2, Capri, Anglia, and Cortina Mk1 & Mk2 models equipped with leaf spring rear suspension. Ensure your vehicle model and suspension type match before purchase.
Setup: Installation involves safely jacking up the rear of the vehicle, unbolting the existing U-bolts, placing the lowering block between the axle and the leaf spring, and securing it with the provided longer U-bolts, nuts, and washers. It is highly recommended that installation is performed by a qualified mechanic. Proper torque settings for the U-bolt nuts must be followed.
Care: Regularly inspect the U-bolts and nuts for tightness. After installation, it is crucial to have the vehicle's wheel alignment checked and adjusted by a professional to ensure optimal handling and tire wear. Clean the components with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners.
