dont really want to waste money on doing a 4 link setup in this shell, if i bin it ill have to cut it all out to shell the car, boo. looking at running different leafs or running a sway bar with the shocks clicked up a bit, or just put up with it lifting wheels on full opposite lock, apparently it looks cool. :)

its not the straightest shell in the world, the body work isnt the greatest and im sure there is a little rot here and there and the roof is starting to bubble slightly. if i was going to go to the effort of 4 linking with turrets and coil overs it'd be on a much nicer shell, doesnt have to be 2 door.

I've crunched the numbers and the 7.5" rs's with their -19 offset with sit out further than the 8's currently on the car. So they are out. Been looking at revolution 4 spokes in 7" with a +6 offset. Should allow me to run a 205/60 without gaurd problems.
But I'm a big time closet hotwires fan. After having been lent the 7's for the rear at the skidpan day I wouldn't mine getting a set of them either. So if anyone has a set. Or knows someone with a set they want to offload let me know. If not its either the revo's or some alleycats

Stiffer rear springs and/or rear sway bar will make the inside rear well pick up worse. If you want both wheels to stay on terra firma, soften the rear.
Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!

Daz the rally specials are Jbw's version of the alleycats. I've been looking into both those or the 13x7 inch starmags.
Mud. It's the inside front wheel that lifts.

Hi Mish, Mine also lifts inside front wheel since I removed sway bar. But that's because its hooking up rear alot better. With swaybar on it tended to want to kick out in the rear alot easier as it sat flatter through corners but obviously some drive is lost. By the sounds of it your happy so some lost drive and more slide? If so I'd put rear sway bar back on. Go the Hotwires! Rhys

Thanks for the info Rhys, exactly what I wanted to hear some first person experience. Now I only wish I.didn't sell.my old swaybar setup with my old diff. It was an aftermarket style that connects to the diff via mounts attached with u bolts. Is this the norm for an escort ???
