IF the dampers are good then a 30mm spring kit will work well BUT the shocks do need to be in a very good state of health. I've always found Koni top adjustables set soft work very very well on the Fiesta :aviator:

As said, standard shocks, 30mm drop.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

IF you've got the pennies mate Koni's would be my choice everytime just ensure you don't fall into the trap of setting them too hard :)
