deltamal Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Got the Cortina five linked today! gone with the pressed steel radious arms, stabilizer bar, springs and shocks, now fitted with adjustable coil overs, parallel anti tramp link bars with adjustable spherical rod ends, and panhard rod, the ride is more settled, and it goes round corners without leaning, I have yet to try it on the strip!

escort21 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Best thing you could of done to a mk3..nice one
bortaf Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Sweet Have you strehgthened the top mounts for the coil overs or do you recon it will take the weight ok? what's it handle like? must be better with out those dam angled top arms any idea on the spring poundage? just wondering if they needed to be inceased with out the bushes adding to the resistance on the up travell? Oooo so many questions Not something you see often on the later cars, i know about the SA 5 link and the Hyundai version but this new to me
