I asked you because I´ve got a Rs7 17" 7.5" ET35 diamond cut alloys on my RS turbo on standard suspension and I want to replace them with new KONI set adjustable with -20 or -30mm springs. Which KONI KIT do you recommend me??
I don´t want scrubb or rub problems with 17"

There isnt much left to do really on the fiesta, got rear brake lines, front mount and exhaust to do on it, along with few other little jobs - re-fitting interior etc.
Going On holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow then going to get on with it basically as soon as im back. I want both my rs's out this summer so they are first priority now!!

But KONI kits for Rs Turbo are provided with -20mm springs, is it right??
Koni springs are not good so you fitted g-max or you only change them to go for -30mm??

But how come you kept the MFI unit & meaturing unit if you got a 2.1? Just wondering... would it be better on a efi more reliable??

My escort will be one of my daily cars so didnt want the hasstle of maintaining 2 big spec rs turbo's as it gets too much hard work!!
I always get my cars set up by Stu & Kenny at Motorsport Developments and ive always found mfi to be really reliable when set up properly. The last 2.1 escort which i had on mfi was similar spec to this one and once set up i used daily and never really had any problems with it
Im not aiming to make this one a silly spec, just want it nice to be able to use it without all the problems. As everything is basically brand new on the car it should be a really nice reliable car (Hopefully anyway)
Sorry for late reply, only just got back off holiday last night
Thanks
