Alright troops, I have a braw wee Mk2 Estate that I'm in the final stages of rebuilding. No plans on going mad with it, it's still a 1300 4sp and is more of a summer cruiser for the time being.
I plan to drop it an inch and a half at the back and two at the front, and I want it firmed up a wee bit from standard, but I still want a smoothish ride if you know what I mean.

My prob is that this is the first escort I've had and there are loads of spring rate's available: 145, 160, 175, 180, 190, 200, and 220 Lbs.
I read that standard springs run from 80 Lbs on a base model to about 135 Lbs on a Mexico but not sure if this is correct? If so then maybe around the 160 Lbs would suit me? God knows!

Any advice or input would be well appreciated.

Cheers,

Phin
