Fiesta RS1800 Suspension

Postby Drewman on Thu May 07, 2009 2:35 pm

Hello Guys,

I have myself an RS1800 but what I was wondering is how much lower is it than the standard mk3? I had a mk3 fiesta and got it lowered by 35mm which i hear 30-40mm was the optimum level of drop. It handled superbly.

The RS handles great but I think it could be better so how low to go? and what other options? Changing wishbones etc? What do you think everyone?

Cheers for any input :D

I think its about 15-20mm lower than a bog standard fiesta mate.

The standard suspension on the RS1800 was awesome on my old one.

The same stuff applies to any MK3 Fiesta, lower around 30mm for "best" performance.

Although lower it as much as you want.

If any problems with camber from being lowered, make your wishbone ball joints adjustable so you don't kill the tyres. But this normally only applies to over 30mm on the front end.
