Hi Guys, this is Roberto talking from Brazil.

I need some help with some changes that I'm doing on my Escort XR3 1993.
I want to change the original shock absorbers to somethig better like KONI or BILSTEIN, but there are some diferences between them.

Take a look:

Front Original:

Rear Original:

Koni front:

Koni rear:

Bilstein front:

Bilstein rear:


Can you tell me if the original shocks of braziliam XR3 looks like yours?
There are some diferences between KONI and BILSTEIN, can you tell me why?
Do you have ever used this KONIs os BILSTEINs?
If yes, did you had to do any adaptation?
