    5-Link

    Hi Has anybody got any pictures/measurements they can send me of an Escort 5-link rear suspension setup. I want to fit this to my Anglia as my suspension is shite and this seem the easiest way to do it

    Cheers

    oh you need to mod the lower chassis too more pics comming as soon as I get back.

    An easier way but not as good is to run wider bars on top and narrow ones on the bottom.

    I am in Miami m8 and dont have them here, basically we used a mk1 kit and checked that the bars were parrellel and the axle was centred so we didnt actually go with any measurements as such, once I am back in the UK and have access to the car I can take measurements and post them for you
