ok i was going to sell this but decided against it, and am going to carry on! it has now been lowered 60mm but waiting on some -40 spring still in post

anyhoo mods to date are:

ashley zorst
wheels
gmax shock and springs
panal filter (greens)
2i kit
and the usual stuff lol

mods that ive got and sat in my garage are:
c/l kit
wind deflector things
2.0 mondy engine

im going to respray the 2i kit and rivet it on (so you can see the rivets on the arches) dont know how well that will go down but i think it will look ok.

Im after some cossie wheels aswel, do they come in different sizes or just 15''?? and problems with them on fiesta's such as offset etc??

cheers alex

sierra or escort cosworth?

sorry, escort

geniuine escort cossie wheels are 8x16 with an offset of 25.....these will cause issues on your car...unless you mod it to suit....each car is diff with differring suspension setups so more or less needs to be done...coilovers are not essential with the right mods and decent poudage rate springs and good shocks

mondeo si ones are 7x16....allegedly come in 2 offsets 35 and 40
escort gti ones..i think are 6 or 6.5 x15...also not sure on offset....poss 37


mondeo and esort gti ones are ALOT easier to fit than gen escos ones....

what kind of problems? scrubbing? what mods will be needed for fiestas to accept ecos rims without handling defects?

arch work for one....severity depends on suspension drop and how good it is....steering lock restriction as they will touch on full lock... lower arms....camber adjustables with poly bushes as a min...it wont handle really funny without them....but it will be more tramliney...the ones to have had would have been the zoo tubular ones...they did revise them to be stronger...but they are not in business at the mo..unless thats changed.....they allowed you to adjust castor/camber and there was another one....not toe in or out.......anyways...it wont be totally defect free....bear in mind the weight of a fiesta is quite light to NEED an 8 inch wheel on so it will still tramline a bit

new wings and any rust a found sorted...

ho-k,



my car is lower on one side than the other, its on -60 gmax and shocks.
ive put new ARB drop links on as i thought t could be them..but nooo.

i have -40 springs in the post but wondered what is causing it?
could it be shocks? springs? or something i have done in fitting them during taking springs off shock etc. can someone run by the fitting process of new spring plz so i know its nothing i have done!!??

thanks, alex
