Hi can anybody help?

I have a 1.6 zetec s mk2.5 and have been offered a set of springs from a ST will they fit on the front strut's or will I need to get a set of dampers as well?

    You'll find the car will not sit right. The 2.5 is a heavier engine and the springs will be designed for it and not the weight of your 1.6.

    I have a set of H&R 40mm springs for sale if you're interested.

    Why not fit the correct Eibach Optional Lowering springs that were offered by the dealerships at the time for normal cars (non st)

    I recall seeing them in the brochures

    St springs are for eeer well Focus St's with the 2.5 litre volvo engine and its heavier ancilaries
