Default coilover sleeve kits

Dont flame this post as I have had em fitted with aftermarket shocks on all the Honda's ive owned and really loved them... harsh but cheap and cheerfull.

Does anyone know if you can get em for an s2 escort? I been looking around but cant seem to find any.. has anyone got em fitted or got any lying in there garage they want to send my way?

They seem pretty universal but I dont want to buy the wrong ones.. advice will be most appreciated

Cheers

We sell them for Pug's like the 106's etc (fronts obviously)

Very popular amongst those that know what they are doing. And can be modified or retro fitted to most struts if your handy with tools.

I started my rallying career on rears converted like that and ran them quite sucessfully until moving up to full Bilstein units.

What diameter are your body tubes ?

What about them ? They are readily available at lots of places.

The choice and lengths available is far too complicated for us to stock anything when spring stockists specialists already do this.
