mk2 fiesta suspension kit - ADVICE NEEDED

Postby shyam0207 on Thu Feb 05, 2015 2:42 pm

Whats good people

I have a mk2 fiesta 1.1 ghia, and its in serious need of a full suspension kit change. I have looked at the SPAX VSX suspension kit, however they were only made for xr2s. I was wondering if there would be any problems or issues in fitting an XR2 kit to my 1.1 ghia

Any advice and info is appreciate ! :)
Kind regards;
Shyam

Xr2 shocks and springs will fit your car fine, might fine it sits a tad lower but it's no biggy, go to low though your start to throw the rear ailment out unless you get an adjustable panhard rod, not a bad mod considering you have a U shaped rod which is flimsy.
The xr2 does have a rear anti roll bar, if you can get one with the brackets and links etc it's again, a worth with mod for your car and will make a world of difference to the way it handles!
