crossie2709 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Will it look silly with st springs on dont wont the front to look to high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see in images above; it's still lower than standard and zetec models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
