I have an Escort mk3 xr3i 83, but need to change all the suspension. At the moment i have the early twin bolt system. I have been looking at fitting konis all round, but im getting different answers as to wether mk4/rs turbo konis actually fit my car. Some people say that mk3's and mk4's are all the same and all i have to do is retain the strut top assembly from my mk3 and fit to the new shocks.

Before i got the car, it was built for track use only, but i have converted it back to road. Except the springs are rock hard and its not very nice on todays roads, hence the need of change.

Also the engine is stage 2 spec, so im assuming mk4 rs turbo Ford motorcraft shocks wont be up to the job ? Its just a friend has brand new set of shocks and springs he said will fit with a -35 ride height and be very good on the road ?? think hes just after my money tbh

any advice please. Thx guys

 

mk4 will fit mk3

 

Even the two bolt top mounts. ?

 

yes just use ya old mounts put a set of mk4 struts on my mk3 and its an x plate 2 bolt set up
