The escorts fun but its taking a lot to get it out need a fully floating axle I run a semi floating unit on same shafts as joss ronchetti very good quailty there from phil an mick squires rally & race equipment there made to flex than be solid same as f1 cars an my car is snapping them for fun its running 401lbs of torque now so these big rears an my now lower spring rates didn't help keep snapping em :( so its not been much fun or reliable since then so new axle on then she will be fun haha
