This is all for me but he does nothing at work all day :lol:

Looking for a good size drop but mainly stiffness
Smooth steering wheel (pref suede and dishy) and a boss
Seat/s and harness/s that dont look chavtastic. Rails too if needed.
13-15" wheels, pair or four.

Maybe other stuff too, convince me :wink:

Please put descriptions, pics, prices ect here or pm me. 30mins south of manchester but can arrange a courrier, if the price is right.

Will keep the list updated too.

notice your after landy shocks well in fact you could use range rover ones and discovery ones as there all the same
and a good place to get new ones is here http://www.paddockspares.com/ very cheap
and hit ebay for lowering blocks mk1/2 escorts fit just need some filling around the locater holes
hope that helps

Youll also need high tensile straight bolts for your block fitting.
Escorts use U shaped affairs, which are no good to you.

Would these fit with modding?

Decided i'm going to make some 3" blocks tomorrow and see what they're like. Been told to attack the front springs with an angle grinder, are there any stiffer springs that will fit and match the drop?

Still after,

Steering wheel

14" or 13" wheels, pair or more

Seat/s and harness/s

Also stripped the rear out today so if anyone wants anything check the other section. Free for a week then remains are going to the tip.

Guys, any more help with the shocks would be greatly appreiciated. Even just a link saying buy these :lol: mine are well and truly beyond their peak and i don't want to lick the tarmac anymore doing dori. Want them stiff as possible and direct fit please.

Still after,

Steering wheel + boss

Seat/s and harness/s

None OEM front springs

Thanks :mrgreen:
