I have just returned to ford ownership after a stint with a Volvo 480 Turbo (I know we all fall of the wagon sometime).

My new ride is a 89 sierra GLS Hatchback, with a glorious fuel injected pinto. Okay its gold but I love it!!!!

I am going down the euro style route with the sierra and want it to be as low as possible (show those VW boys, what its all about). For a serious drop it appears that coilovers are my best option.

I have a few questions regarding fitting coilover to my sierra.......

I was planning to fit coilover from a 2wd cosworth, apart from the rear bottom bolt hole needing to be drilled out to 12mm are there any other changes?

Also, I understand the because the trailing arm suspension at the back uses separate springs and dampers, the rear suspension turrets need to be reinforced, How is this done and is it necessary for a road car?

Thanks Robin
