Cheers
lotusless Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 with them wheels + tyres 2" will be fine

5hane Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 2inch !!! ant and paulashman they both look great !!
escort new boy Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 lowering an escort is plain and simple, blocks on the back lowered springs on the front, if you need a hand im only down the road
PaulAshman Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 I got the lowering blocks and the springs from Speedshack on 01895449066
razersedge Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 or you could go th whole hog and go 3"s like mine
Mrs O/H/C Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 HHMMMMM I LIKE THAT EVEN BETTER...ANY PROBLEMS WITH GOING THAT EXTRA INCH ??
razersedge Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 depends if you have got a 3" home made straight exhaust running under the floorpans or not, it is more bumpy than 2 but it corners better and feels solid with less roll but if you see me in my car i'm like a nodding dog but i've got 275 lb springs on the front originally it had 7j revs on it and it only scrubbed out if i really drove it like i stole it
BIG G Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 Lower than the devils under pants is whats needed

razersedge Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 my exhaust goes under the axle and its a 3" bore pipe and i still manage to get over speed bumps. ok there is a little scrape here and there but it's just the exhaust. and when i said driving it like i stole it i mean i was matching a golf vr6 on those round things that are so much fun
Yeomans22 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Posted March 23, 2008 or you could go th whole hog and go 3"s like mine really nice car, ive got the same wheels on mine, -3 looks brill, but i think 2 inch is enough for now, Just need a passenger wing mirror, and some quarter bumpers. car looks great, hope mine will look similar to that only green.
