Default front suspension

are the struts on an 88 rs turbs the same as a 90-95 spec turbs? the reason i ask is ,there are weitec.de springdistance kits in fast ford march page 29,for raising the ride height of the front end(by taking up the sag in the spring),when i phoned,the lady said they only do them for 90-95 escorts,hmm. is this a later model car then,and am i gonna hafta buy adjustable tcas to stop tyre wear then?

MK 5 escorts start on 90H mate so that could be the reason.

As above, they are often used on Mk5 versions and dont work too well.

Here's your translation....

All Weitec car-uppering-kits are delivered with TÜV certificates and close the gap on the car improvement.
Spring Distance Kits give you the possibility to achieve a extreme car look (for example: extreme nose down look), to compensate missing pre load (tension) without changing the shock absorber or just to upper the car to ensure a free running wheel. Weitec Spring Distance kits are also a solution for people who often drive with a trailer or use the car on rough roads and for that reason have to upper their car.










Well, I say translation. What I really mean is I clicked the ENGLISH translation instead of the GERMAN default language
