Also want it lowering aswell tho AlexF want it lowered about 40mm but can only find kits what do 35mm/30mm

Would u think its best to use ford shocks with lowering springs?

2nd hand Bilstien dampers would be better than brand new GMAX stuff. Springs aren't that big a deal. Just buy a set of 35mm springs. Remember the RS2k was around 20mm lower than the regular escort.

So 35mm will be bordering on too low. But for shocks I really reccomend finding a set of 2nd had DECENT stuff.

Aye, Ebay, have a look in here at the for sale sections, PM the breakers such as Pete RS Specialists, North Yorks RS Spares, Dan @ Rapid ford etc.

Also check the RSOC BB, escort evolution etc


Good quality 2nd hand will outperform new cheapo stuff every time.

My mate got some Leda struts for £80!
