in all honesty, looking at that car you wouldnt really think it would go around corners well, it gives the impression it sits too high... BUT thats only the IMPRESSION, CAUSE DAMN it goes hard!

On the other hand it is possibly the lowest you can go with this car and still turn the wheels and have proper suspension movement, the front struts are 3inches shorter than standard, we chopped 3 inches out and made custom bilsteins. The rear is reverse eyed and then lowered further. Cannot believe it looks high, oh well.....This thing is absolutely on the floor for an esky. I have a track day coming up in September and this will show some of its potential.

Escorts were and still are a formidable weapon on the dirt and tarmac.

Probably due to the style of the rear. Side on I couldn't believe that the thing could actually turn its wheels!
