"most" coilover sleeves dont really fit well.....they require o-rings to make sure they are centered and such. The ZX2 struts ARE a larger diameter than the oem struts, but im not sure if there is enough fudge room to get away with using them with these coilovers. For 136 bucks, somebody should TRY IT.

<P>On another note, I wouldnt be caught dead with "stupid japanese writing #1" coilovers. Also, id be scared to hear what the spring rates are on those bad boys.

The UK didnt get the US version of the 2nd gen Escort. The only stuff you could use would be the BG chassis Mazda stuff.<P><BR>Here is what the USA got...<BR> <A HREF="
