    What struts are these ? springs needed ?

    Need to order some lowering springs for the front and need to know what springs these are. Originally had drums all round but was changed by last owner.

    They look like escort Rs/ Capri struts, rally design do loads of springs for these, you'd want -2" which is lowest they do but it will depend on what engine you have in there as sit almost inch lower with a heavier pinto than a xflow... I'd they 190 lb should sit quite nicely.
