How low can I go. Mk1 escort conversion
Hi all
First post. I am in the middle of making a mk1 escort fit over a 95 wrx sti floor pan
I really don't want to lower the escort shell anymore onto the Subaru chassis as I feel it will cause more problems
But it's sitting high. I see there are 40 mm lowering springs available which is good for me. Is it possible to go more ?
Will coil over kits allow me to Lower more ?
First time I had a scooby. But with other cars I have owned lower you go normal effects more suspension geometry etc
Advice welcome
Matt

You can go a bit lower, what you need to watch for is the rear drive shaft starting to slope upwards to the outside of the car,
if you do, then when you start to drive it, and cornering hard, they will destroy the inner rear CV joint,
but you can get some uprated one from SD motor sport that will let you have more travel on your inner rear CV joint
Nice project.
