hello
im currentley restoring a 950cc povvy spec mk1 fiesta for my first car, and i need help deciding on what parts to get for the supension.

i want the car lowered 40mm but i want the handling improved at the same time. i think ive decided against coilovers because of the price of them so they can wait until i change the engine.

im going to get polybushes all round (firm up the ride slightley and last longer) and an adjustable xr2 panhard rod but i dont know what shocks and springs to get. People have recommended mk2 xr2 shocks all round with 40mm lowering springs but i dont see why you should use mk2 shocks (anyone explain why? )

The car will more than likely be driven all the time so i dont want suspension thats completley rock solid, but i dont want the car wallowing around neither.

what shocks and springs shall i look for and what sort of money are they?
ive looked on demontweeks and fiestacentre but they dont seem to have much for them

any idea appreciated cheers
