hi just to let you know i bought the same kit but from a diffrent supplier had to wait nearly a month to get them an when they came the fronts where bottoming out!!! sent them back an had new front shocks and springs an they were exactly the same. so ive not even botherd sending them back this time just gonna find some decent suspension. ive kept the front springs on too this is a link to pics of mine with rs7s an 40mm https://passionford.com/forum/pictures-video-and-photoshop-forum/281560-my-little-escort-rst.html personally i now think its too low but thats just me.lol
