Default Rear Coilover Conversion

I noticed that some RST (S1 & S2) owners have converted their rear suspension over. I'm wondering if anyone would like to share some pictures of their setup. I would like to show some other US/Canada Escort owners what the rear coilover setup looks like.

Thanks.

Fasten the 2 bolts at the bottom and the 1 nut at the top

Thats it !! These have specially strengthened & designed top mounts, as we designed them to fit with no rear mods needed.
