i dunno, i think it depends on style really, i quite like an early mk2 on wideish ats classics and a healthy but not excessive drop

admittedly, they mess up gearing something chronic  :grin:

I had 13's on my old car. The top speed was around 80-90, it used a LOT of fuel and you can say goodbye to grip off the line!

That looks awesome.

I can imagine that on a small bumper you would be harking back to the Mk2 Escort looks wise.
