RT Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sierra struts won't fit in an escort. They're totally different and the offset is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest escort_boy Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 is there any kind of upgrade u can reccomend rt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Yes, Capri struts... If you find a 2.8i S then you get Bilstein shocks, vented discs and 4 pot brakes! But you won't find any! I havn't. Realisticly unless you plan on serious rallying then Bilsteins are not going to do fuck all. So if it's just a stronger strut and a brake upgrade then just grab a set of 1600 capri struts. Mk1 capri will bolt straight in MK1 escort and MK2/3 to MK2 otherwise you've got the imperial to metric to sort out. Not too difficult.. If you want 4pot brakes find some Austin Princess callipers, they bolt straight on standard discs and make a massive difference!! If you run em on a vented discs then you need to get a spacer plate to spread them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
