Default Pics of Escorts on Standard wheels with lowered suspension

I am really, really considering going back to standard wheels over the winter but need to see Standard wheels preferably with -25 mm lowered suspension. Even better if running track biased tyres r888's etc.
Your pics would be very much appreciated

No and yes to those questions, I am considering selling my 6 pots, big rear discs, 19's and 18" MO's, I do love them all but there is just something about the original wheels
I don't drive the Escos much anyway and so the brakes are massive over kill, I will probably run standard wheels on R888's for the next few years and if my plans come true I will sell it and move abroad and

Oh and it is safely tucked away in the carcoon now awaiting some carbon bits, a front end paint (at last) and a special bufty before next season.

I know what you mean about standard wheels mate ......they do look best on them

The brakes maybe overkill but you i suppose you could sell those and still get good brakes to fit under standard wheels

Hi Mat
I know this is a bit of a cheek but if you go down this route would you consider sell me your 19" superleggeras.

regards

MaxCos: which springs did you have? Car sits great

GAVCOS: don't think you're the only one who's interested in those as almost every FRS-owner I know wants a set

I had offers before I even mentioned the possibility of selling them so I think if I sell them they will go on Ebay
Still very undecided to be honest
