UPRATING/STRENGHTENING STRUT TOPS FOR COILOVERS?????
Ive read about people talking about this sort of modding before but never in detail.
i now own a mk1 fiesta,and like the mk3/4 escorts the are fitted with seperate shocks/springs on the rear.
Well im looking on getting one of them coilover conversion kits for the rear of mine to make the rear height adjustable.When they say strenghtenin the rear turrets,what do i actually need to do???anyone got any details?????cheers

if you look around where your rear turret are fitted you'll find that they are spot welded only with the extra force that coilovers put on the rear turret this can cause it crack and or worse still the welds to give way
what some peeps do is seam or stitch weld the rear turret mounts to give them extra strength and thus spread the load that it now subjected to from fitting coilovers also advise a rear strut brace also
hope this helps
