started lowering the escort **update 9/2/08** it's done
Got some eibach springs off bigpower(cheers m8) got them re powdercoated and started fitting them last night, got the rear springs done, just need to do the front next.
measured it before and after and the back has come down 25mm, looks ok, but hopefully will look better when the fronts done.
before and after pics
before looking like a ranger rover!

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
just a question, how much are a set of new eibach springs in normal ride hight and 25mm lowered and how much would a second hand set be worth. there is a guy here in australia selling them but his price is on the high side, $750 a set thats about 300 pounds.

Looks a lot neater now. Time to start worrying about the splitter and bib spoiler!!!
Manage to get the stance of mine how I wanted it,
Just for this to happen on a protruding manhole cover, 2 days before RSOC National Day 05!!
Bugger!! Carbon splitter gone and Bib spoiler holes ripped apart! I was not too happy!

I have the 25mm lowered Eibachs on mine, feels so much better that way but I can no longer have the front splitter fitted as it would hit the ramp in my work's multi-story car park, annoyingly.

finished the front suspension last night took longer as I replaced the front offside outer cv joint as it was showing signs of wear.
took some photo's this morning of the finished job, strangely in the photo from the rear it's stance looks spot on where as from the side it still looks high at the front
is it just my eyes?
so to recap I have gone from this...

Tho cant fault mine really, i was late home for dinner as i bought an escos today she didnt even flinch when i told her whilst eating my cold dinner. Tho come to think of it that may not be a good thing??
looks good anyhow, my cars 100% standard 1995 36k miles with original tyres and exhaust!!! but i think the one thing i will do is drop it slightly.
