hard to say Baz, my old escos suspension was a joke...i had a set of fast road konis on it and toyo proxys hence the best i could manage round KH was 58sec

as for being twithcy that is bollocks, this one has a set of 3 door front hubs, i have slotted the front x member and fitted eccentric washers to allow me to adjust camber, compression struts and i have really pushed the boat out on this one and fitted a set of gaz golds, 600lb front sprigs and 225 rears,...it handles mint....well mint compared to any other cossie i have had...never been a big spender in the suspension dept

if danny sorts me a good deal on beam price it will have an adrenaline beam shortly too i think you should danny..got a mag feature lined up for it already

Good stuff Kev, that means when I am in the position I can build my 500+ Escort and RWD drive it so I don't have to spend 6 million pounds on boxes and diffs

I always preferred Escorts over anything but a 500, just that 350bhp wouldn't cut it
