If Fejjj doesn't work out I have a fresh (0 hour rebuild) set of rear Escort Cup shocks.

Fejjj, details please? Which damping? Spring rates?

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

The rears are 565/218 and I believe the fronts are 380/150.

I am not exactly sure about the spring rates but the car handles flat and is a little harsh for me on the road. (I am north of 50)

Ahh, thanks but I'm looking for the stiffer track damping.

So have them revalved.

Out of curiosity, how would you compare/contrast this set up with the M030 springs/dampers that were fitted to your car?

Re: valving, isn't the rear 565/218 configuration already the track set up? The front 380/150 valving must be the detuned configuration for the street, as I've seen most EC struts specified with [I believe] 600/180.

Rich, is that what you're referring to?

Compare/Contrast?

The car with 30 front and 19 rear sway bars is completely transformed!

There is no body roll, no more "squat" and it is tight!!

It is definitely harsher on the road which I am getting used to.

I was able to acquire some KW V3's so I am going to try those and sell this set up.

This car is now truly a street legal race car!

Bump!

Anyone out there with a set of escorts who could send me a clear pic of the original Bilstein decal as on the set Fejjj had for sale above? I'm looking to make up some repro decals. Bilstein don't have any records of them. The ones on mine are too far gone to use as a reference. Any help appreciated.
