250 seems ok to me but it is only a street car so far. Haven't had the time to take it on a track yet.

Volvo four pots with BMW E30 discs. They work well for budget brakes.

5kg coil overs ordered from otomoto.
Thanks Ash.

I went on a drift site and they were all running 8kg.
Figuring they want a bit of oversteer i would b safe with 5kg.

James i get the feeling you are after comfort and so 4k might be a little soft for me!?


to an extent..
all my local roads aren't quite racetrack smooth, and too stiff can also doesnt help understeer when pushing hard.

Hey.
Just putting the old setup next to the new setup - i am just a little concerned that the new setup seems alot lower than than the old. If you consider that the keeper spring will fully compress and then i pressume the wheight of the car will compress the main spring a little - will it be substantially shorter and should i compensate for that?
Craig how much lower than stock is your front end?

Not sure on that one, I never really measured it. The top of the tyre sits at the guard height if that makes sense. The new setup doesn't compress anywhere near as much as the original springs, so don't worry. It'll work.

I dropped it down on the springs last night after sortin all the brakes out.
Its very low.
Hope i can raise it enough once the motor is in.

No problems Glenn, do you have some 2L legs or are the ones in the Zetec 2L already? I haven't checked.

What are the struts? Konis for an Escort 2L?
