Morning,

Just had a phone call from the other half asking for me to find some shocks for his car! He's looking for Front and Rear shocks and would pref like bilsteins...

Anyone know any websites where I can get pices for suspension for a 3.0ltr S Capri...

Please help me so I can go hpkome to a happy boyfriend!

Bilsteins for the rear mabe hard to get, but rally spares may help

I am sure the MK1 escort front Billys will go on a capri

 

Thanks

Anyone else?

 

escorts Mk1/Mk2 will fit vice versa

 

yeah but its not a mk1 or mk2 escort...

try www.raldes.co.uk

 

people fit the billy's and brakes of 2.8i Capri's as they are easier to get parts for

 

Burtons do a kit for these

burtonpower.co.uk

 

yeah went to Burtons at the weekend but they havent got the stock list forthem til Oct, doesnt want to change to the 2.8 cos he wants to keep it all original

 

Tickover in Bexleyheath Kent will have stock of what you want. Www.tickover.co.uk

the rear shocks will be the same on the 2.8i and 3.0l assuming its not a mk1 capri. The struts on a 3.0 have different hubs and stub axles but i belive the inserts will be the same. On my MKII 3.0 i run 1.6 laser struts with monroe gas inserts -2" springs 2.8i hubs machined down to fit a caprisport gtr260 brake kit.

and as marco said the mk1 mkII rs struts are the same as 2.8i lasers etc. Except on the 2.8i the lower spring platform is 1 inch lower.

 

Thanks

Anymore before I go ordering these expensive items!
