had konis all round on my esco and lowered 25mm adjustable, pretty good set up in my view, obviously some proflex jumbo's be better but there pricey

I run koni's on the front with lower springs fully adjustable damper and i run bilstiens coil ovvers on the back.The back coil overs are terrible ride but the fronts are great id say the konis.

i used to run my old escort on koni adjustables with chassis dynamic springs and it was fully polybushed, couldnt really fault the setup to be honest!

New escort has spherical bearing top mounts, gaz coilovers, adjustable track control arms and compression struts to do away with the front anti roll bar, every bush that still existed has been changed for a poly item, havent had chance to try it on the road yet but im hoping it handles spot on... even if it does give a bit of a harsh ride!!!

Got Gaz coilovers on my car and they handle spot on compared to the koni's.

Abit harsh but i have not tried to ajust them yet to a softer setting.
