Default ESRT Rear link kit question?

Is it possable to fit a ajustable rear link kit without coilovers and just use Koni's on the rear of a ERST?. Also what do you do about the rear anti roll bar and load sensing valve?

you have to use coilovers, as there is no room for the spring platform to go.

Its possible if you go for the rose jointed rear arm instead of the full rose jointed adjustable bar set up. This leaves the rear anti roll bar in place, for those that deem it to be necessary.

I used to run my car this way before going fully Group A

edited to add an old picture.


The inner end of the rear arm is rose jointed to re-adjust the camber. It was sat on home made Koni coilovers at this point, and take it from me they (the Koni's) were one of the worst mods I ever did to the car.

I still didn't run a rear ARB tho even with the rear arms on.

Cars piped front/front and rear/rear with a bias adjuster (pressure reducer) in the rear line so it dosn't need them

Not so easy sorry mate as mine has the MEF bias pedal box fitted too. Martins looking at making a direct fit one for Escorts, so these mods can be easily done then
