you had a mk4 escort before???????

i had 2 lowered 60mm............nothing but agro mate.

your car will develop an appitite for

1. tyres
2. wheel bearings
3. drive shafts
4. gear boxes
5. suspension legs

then if ur lucky (if the rest of the car to last's) it'll start to crack down the bulk head

my advice if u plan to have a future with this car but some good 25/30mm springs and new shocks

but thats just my opinion based on past experience's
