Is there enough clearence for the shocks or have you had to modify it ?
How low is the car ?

I aint going to say that the 8" wheels fit ok, as there has been a serious amount of man hours gone into making everything work together correctly.
The shocks also require new strengthened turrets to be fabricated as the spring location is moved!
I dont know how low the car is at the moment, it could certainly be doing with being droped a little more IMO. Really just testing various settings with height and damping setings at the moment!

Andy she's looking shit hot!!
As for that Evo the other night, haha! if only we could of told the bloke we were only running 8psi and had just run it in
And the handling of the car feels amazing, i deffinately reccomend coilovers, the ride is firm, but it doesnt knock ya teeth out! Cant wait till the geometry is set up properly, will go round bends like you wouldnt believe!!
Well done, and its gotta be the most comprehensivly modified escort ever!

IMHO
It doesnt look right Not sure why? Think the wheels stick out too far. Got any other pictures from different angles. Maybe its just the pics and it looks different from other angles. Maybe it just needs lowering
And why do the S1 arches look tiny? When on Lewis S2 they look much bigger
Its not a dig, but I think I prefered the old wheels you had.
