Why has cobra got a differant face???

Give me a price on Eibach and cobra?

Do you do chassis dynamics? i believe these are -30mm?
Could do with -25 front and -30 rear, would make a bit more of a level stance???

Cheers

Chris,
AVO only do standard ride height for Sapphires, NOT Escorts (only -25) .

Avoid excessive lowering, it fucks up the handling AND puts loads on the front drive shafts which causes them to pop out . I wouldn't go lower than -25mm if I was you.
