Installed this weekend... couldn't be happier... soaks up little bumps much better than the Eibach springs/KYB shocks that were on there before and yet feels much stiffer when doing some "spiritied" driving. Going to replace the strut bearings next weekend though, the old ones were knackered but I didn't have any replacements on hand. And the ride height needs some tweaking, its a bit high at the back and a bit low at the front. But no rubbing whatsoever and I did not need spacers for my 16x7 BBS wheels.

The traditional mcphersons looks somewhat antiquated next to those SACHS beasties! Didn't even know they did a height adjustable kit!

 

You got that much inner arch rubbing on 7" rims? What offset are they?

You know the tips on how to keep them in serviceable condition?

 

Don't see any lube on those threads yet!

 

Use valve grinding paste in the threads to remove the rust that jams them if that happens, an old rally tip from back in the day. (MkII Escorts)
