Suspension on the mk4

[landon]

has anyone done any thing to fix the amount of body roll the car has or is the a kit they sell to move the springs from under the car to the out side on the shocks or does any one have some ideas?

How similar is your car to a mk4 Escort??? First check the sway-bar thicknesses. On a S2 RST they should be 24mm front and 16mm back.

You can do coilovers I think, but you don't tend to see them as I reckon just a spring and damper upgrade is usually sufficient to lower and stiffen the car so that the body roll is reduced.

I don't think anyone here is exactly sure what your beast looks like from underneath so how much it resembles the mk4 we know I don't know.

Looking at those pictures, the suspension is the same, but there doesn't seem to be an anti-roll bar at all in the rear. The European injected models had 12mm and the S2 RST 16 mm.
