mk2 escort suspension choices

[russler]

Hiya guys ive just got my self a 4 door mk2 (1600 gl SA) and im wondering what people would recommend in terms of suspension choices, im aiming for a fast road set up, maybe a track day or two. id love a set of coilovers upfront and a 2" drop and a pair of tidy shockers on the rear, this is my first mk2 escort and am finding myself in a little bit of a minefield of set ups in regards of what hubs can i use with coilovers, what brakes then fit what top mounts to use, so any advice is really appreciated, cheers guys.

Gaz shocks are good, try and grab a set of RS type struts with removable steering arms, convert them to coilover using a kitfor 2 1/4'' springs, fit Gaz inserts and Gaz shocks on the rear, with some poly bushes, or if you want to spend more go for Bilstein coilovers.
