Default newbie needs all the help in the world!!

Hi guys, this is my first ever post. I bought myself an escort cab with an rs conversion back in october with all good intensions to have her up and running the way i wanted her by the summer! i know nothing about cars and am way behind schedule! I paid far too much 4 it and must have been blind when i got it cause ii really got ripped off!

Anyway to the point, i took it for an mot and it failed on the rear suspension legs. what do u think would be best to replace them with ( and not burn a huge hole in my pocket) i think it has got standard escort cab ones on at the moment so i was thinking either rs turbo ones or maybe some aftermarket ones? If i go aftermarket will i have to replace all for? i am running 17's by the way.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Jonny

yeah go for after market ones!

everyone will say koni but at around £400 these aint cheap! go for G-max i know they dont sound as nice feel as nice and aint adjustable but i doubt you wanna go on track and they will be fine!....or a PI set up! not to much more around the 250 mark!

i would advise you do all four!

Have a look in the trade section. There might be someone breaking a car with uprated suspension on it. Buyng a second hand set up will obviously be cheaper than new.
