I was unsure if it would fit as it was from a MKI and I wasn't sure how straight my car was but it fitted up first go perfectly. Now just need my sway bar and I get the wheel alignment, Cheers, Matt Sorry for the crappy pics Attached Image(s) My 4 door MK II Resto http://www.classic-ford.org/cfp/tm.aspx?m=37623 RS Owners Club Victoria Committee Member - http://rsocvic.com/ #197

Nearly there, just need to find out which order the bleed the caliper nipples in.

It's just a matter of starting at the furtherest caliper from the MC and working back to the closest #200

I haven't fitted the sway bar yet either. It has been posted today. The alloy hubs increase track by 10mm and I have 20mm spacers as well. The springs are 275lbs so they won't compress much and I will increase the camber too so it should be fine.

Though pretty sure the Coil is rooted. I also found I am missing some of the pins that hold in the brake pads so I have ordered some new ones so hopefully they will be here too. We will see...
