Default Suspension time for the capri... advice ?

Hi All. Well its suspension time for the capri.........

1) will escort rear shocks fit ? I cant find a part number catalogue to try and match them up

2) What rate spring will i need in the front to hold the weight of the new 302 as opposed to the original 4 cylinder front springs ??

I found a place that had different rate springs for the front but I can no longer find it............ nyone know of this place ?. I really should move up from the standard 4cyl springs .

Cheers
Doc

sweet mate, We plan on doing everything that moves, but like to hear what others have done as well , not just rely on the kid from the red bull shop. My last experience there did not leave me feeling in good hands.

They are definately an interesting car to work on. They have so many good ideas and other stuff leaves you wondering why they even built the thing.

All Good,and thanks for the reply

Cheers
Doc
