Default ST suspension

Now I know you guys will call me crazy, but I want heavy duty suspension on my ST, but with INCREASED ride height.

Bit like the oldskool rally Mk1 escort set up.

Trouble is, it's been lowered, and all the kits out there seem to be for lowering. Standard height would be better even.

Any suggestions?

thats the thing as hardly anyone does stock ride height spring upgrades unless you get a upgraded tdci springs as their ride height is above that of a 170 and all coilovers lower, or maybe fit spring assisters or contact a spring supplier and ask for a extra coil etc

Thanks Steve, that's really helpful.

Of course if get tdci springs then I'll need shocks to match so will the full tdci kit fit the ST mounts etc ?

springs simply give you the ride height as the shocks should have enough in them to allow a increase or decrease in height
