out of intrest dose that mean the escort is heavier on the front or are the springs shorter ? as the spring seat being higher it would lift the ride hight of the car ?

I doubt the escort is any heavier than a 4x4 Saff, I don't know the reasons why the spring cup is higher?
The EScos had 8x16 wheels where as the 4x4 Saff had 7 x15? I think?
I'd hazard a guess at it being to do with fitting the wheels they had in mind with the 4x4 Sierra stuff in the escort wings?
I really don't know mate

i think your spot on with the wheel width as i have 7.5" wheels on the 4x4 sierra cosworth set up with coilovers and there is not much room between coilover and tyre at 8" i recon it would be on it or a baw hair space lol

The Escort wheels still fit a sapph. I think it's more the tyres that are used by the Escort that might be a problem to fit a sapph. 225/45 R16 is a bit bigger than the 205/45 R16, which the sapph would need to keep the same tyre radius as standard.
Fitting the Escort struts to a Sapph would increase the ride height on a Sapph though.

thats a fairly wide tyre at 225 , i run 215 and dont think i would go wider on the front as its always good to see day light between a moving bit and a bit that dose not move lol , it would be down to wheel offset too so alot of diffrent ways to mess around with

I was wanting to find some lowering springs for a V6 xr4x4, when I dug into it all the part numbers where the same for 4 & 6 cylinder models - I would expect the V6 springs to be a different rate for the extra weight of the engine, but not, even one supplier told me they are all made the same!
Anyway, I stick the BOA in my Saff using all the Granada 24v stuff minus the shocks and springs - I found the Escos struts local, cheap and only done 40 thousand miles, at that time I couldn't find any cheap second hand XR struts so slapped them on with standard sierra pinto springs Just to get it rolling again as it's in a friends garage getting welding etc and he wanted it to be moveable.
I think dojj has since said about the ride height, but i'm hoping if I get some decent springs and the weight of the engine might balance it out - shall have to weight and see.

you could talk to gaz and get two coilovers speced for the car with that engine , dont think it will be cheap mind you my two front were around £350 i think and that was them speced to the pickup with its engine
