Default What springs

Iv'e got a set of Koni top adjustables on my Escort Cossy. The dampers are the usual Koni yellw and the springs are black. The front sits lovely, about 20-30mm above the tyres, but the rear is way too high, about 50-60mm above the tyres. This set up was on the car when i bought it, so i imagine the springs are Koni as well. The ride is spot on but i really would like to get the back down to around the same as the front. What springs would you reccomend, to use all round.

Webby.

I have done a bit of a search and A-Bayjoo springs seem to be a popular choice

Hi,
You can get these from Mike Rainbird. Ahmed Springs are spot on.

thanks,
Manoj

The ahmed springs come in 2 different specs, fast road or Track. I went for fast road as I don't do track days etc. The car looks much better & the stance is spot on.
This thread might help, the Imp blue Cos is mine with the Ahmed springs on.

Deffo Ahmed Springs, i had them on the Saph in fast road form, I have gone for the Track Spec on the Escos to try and prevent the rear end from
squatting too much on acceleration.
