Default Rs 7 spokes And mk6 escort

Wanted to know how much work is needed to fit them to my p reg 1.6 16v escort. Also what size tyres you would recommend, and how much it could/should be lowered on them. thanks Tom

Great info guys, is that even on full lock? Anybody know about lowering? and i had been looking at not just buying the springs but the dampers aswell, is it worth it? Thanks

yeh its best getting the full kit mate. 40mm should see you fine but you could prob go 60mm.Depends how low you go and it should be fine on full lock. look at feoc-uk.com , some people have them rs7's on there escort

I live on a farm and there are rough country lanes so i think 40 should be fine, Im runninf a 1.6 16v zetec, anybody know much about seems like a pretty good engine, and powerful enough for the road, for now, im only 17. Any particular tyres or suppliers, they better not scratch my 7 spokes, lol
