    I must ask what is the concern between dropping the zetec s on eibachs than other fiestas?

  • Quote

    I am a bit concerned if I would lower it with the sport package. Hmm....

    This was the original concern. The zs was already a little lower than the standard Fez from factory

    What does a little lower mean compared to the standard? I have the Titanium so probably I should not worry that much...

    In the UK Zetec-S is 10mm lower than other models as standard.

    Not sure exact difference, but its tiny, maybe 10mm, but they were stiffer than titanium springs (and other models) so anyone with a zs, doesn't get to enjoy a 30mm drop really as they were already dropped a little as standard.

    Hope this helps

    OK, thanks for the info guys! So mine will be just 30mm lower, considering that I have the Titanium one.

    Is it really worth lowering it, in your opinion?

  • Quote

    Then surely it wouldnt matter anyway.the zetec sport had lower springs than the standard fez so putting any spring into a zetec sport or a standard fez that has the same lentgh spring, the ride hight will be exactly the same DOH! so whats the concern?

    No concern anymore, most likely I will go for the springs, considering that they will provide a bit better handling.

    Lol, yeah you're exactly right. The final result is exactly the same, just the difference from before and after is less with the zetec s model.

    Personally massively recommend it, the car should've came with these springs from the factory. Anyone wanting these springs in the uk, I may be able to arrange discount, I paid £131 delivered

    Good price to pay for better handling...

    Shipping also to other EU countries? :D

    Is this what we are talking about?
