Did you get lowering springs fro the front as well? Your post suggests it but it is a tiny bit vague, for obvious reasons the front should be dropped too!

"1" lowering kit" would seem to encompass that Zack winking smiley

Another question would be 'does the kit include new bump stops' ?

Many if not most don't and you need to ensure that the suspension travel is not inhibited by the existing stops - front and rear.

Who's kit is it ?

Having to buy front springs separately is not my definition of a lowering kit !.

Remember in days gone by I used to make my own block for the rear and lob off a loop of the coil at the front.

Worked fine.

Lionel, that's what we did with the Orange Crush. Just took little bits off the spring until it was at the height my son wanted.
