- I have wanted this suspension setup on 'Esther' my ST170 powered Mk1 Escort FOR YEARS!! 😃
Unfortunately the install process wasn't as straight forward as I was hoping tho! 🙁
Oh and now she's too low to get into my garage!! 🙁

I love how your absolutely plonking it down the road toward a paralysed sheep in a red driving school car 😂😂😂 I enjoyed this a great deal
Ge some scaffold planks on the garage floor, with wedged ends cut.. you can drive up onto them, and still use your security post
Id highly recommend getting shock socks for the coilovers i put some on mine a year ago and they have kept them pristine as i drive my car in all weather. Great vids as always
Nice one, Marcus! Gaz are brilliant to work with. I had my Viva HC coilovers custom built by them. As it's super low, the fronts are 2.5" i/d 10" long eye to eye with 400lbs springs & the rears are 1.9" i/d 14" top mount to eye! So short that there's no room for a bump stop!! Cheers. Leigh.
Good one dude 👌
You might find it easier when fitting rear shocks to put the top in first, then you can pull them down to fit the bottom mount 👍
That’s genius! Thanks for the advice mate! 👍👍👍
Brilliant mod, new springs and shocks always make a vast improvement in driveability and handling and the setup you fitted looks the business as well. 👍
Hi Marcus another great video. Excellent work on the cars Esther is looking good. That C spanner you used is called a Collet Spanner shortened to C so many people forgot its real name. Most of this type spanner are specialized for one purpose so you can end up with a wall full of them. Cheers have a great weekend.
Just a thought try using two nuts and use the top one as a locker for the shocks easier to get off in the future,instead of the nylock cheers
Hi Marcus, not sure you'll see this, but I wonder if you put a slightly smaller pulley on your alternator it might charge better with less RPM?
Awesome Video, I agree with Jim, try a small pulley on the Alternator, it may make it spin faster at idle, yes an Escort with an LSD, quick rack and plenty of power is awesome fun in the wet and dirt 👍
Hi Marcus , i had Koni adjustable rear shocks on my more door MK2 Escort Ghia and had them really firm, she vibrated my cassette player tape deck to pieces, i think I replaced around half a dozen tape decks over like 6 months before I softened them up, lol 😂, If I still had my Escort I’d be buying everything you’re taking off Esther lol 😝
Ps…..impact guns are freaking fantastic lol
Pps….. you should spray all the new suspender parts with ACF50 to keep them nicen kleen, it comes off with brake cleaner.
Nice one Marcus.. think once ride hight set up she’ll look sweet.. pesky wet roads great for side way actions 😁😁 keep up the great work loved your Ireland adventures .. so many classic fords .. have you fought about moving across the water ? ? Ford heaven if there is a place ..
Ah yes, been looking forward to these being installed 👌👍
I was supposed to fit them aaaages ago! 😀
Great video Marcus👌. I love all the upgrades you are making to your cars. I think this is the first video in a while that i noticed you not sending it full( as you put it) and Miss Daisy would be proud of you... lol . Top Man.. from S.A.
Nice dude nothing like good springs , shockies, and bushes etc looking forward to seeing what u do with Ester fine ass 😂😂 go full Frank kelly he’s got a wicked set up on baby blue as u know she’s warming up down under condolences to u UK 🇬🇧 peeps on Dear queeny 💓
Spot on Marcus. Looking good 👌
Brilliant well done mate looking good good luck getting it in garage 😭😭😭
Good job Marcus 👍👍👍
When you talk about rally design are you talking about 'rally and marine design' based in faversham ,Kent ?
Remember getting my steel engine mounts from them 30 years ago when I converted my mk 2 popular plus to take a pinto engine 😁😁😁
Rally design are in Swalecliffe in Kent mate. Not sure if they used to have ‘marine’ in their name tho 👍
Very good show marcus
Thanks Hugo! 👍👍👍👍
Hi Markus, congrats for your work!. What kind of Gaz Gold are they??. The long or short leg??
Well done mate, looks nice 👍🏼
Thanks mate! 👍
Hi Markus.
Thank you for this video. Can you send me the links for the coil overs please.
Thank you
What a stunning litle car. I would give it a litle more low😅
Nice suspension 👏👏
👍👍👍
Looks sooo much better
Hey mate, great vids.
Did you order the standard length or short? I've got the short but haven't fitted them yet.
I,ve learned a lot from your videos and reading the comments section. Are the top mounts on the front struts an improvement over the standard Capri ones? Different bearings maybe or altered camber angle or something else? Is there a specific name for that type of mount?
Another first class video once again Marcus
Thanks Wayne! 👍
Absolutely no problem whatsoever Marcus buddy
Awesome upgrades and think you need a sump guard next and how did the new speedo pick up work?
Haven’t hooked the speed sensor up yet mate. I have another upgrade to fit first and I’m planning to make some other changes before I get round to that. 👍
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏽😀🤙🏼
Loving the learner doing a three point turn 😂😂
There actually wasn’t a learner in the car. It was just an instructor talking to his make on the moped. 👍
Uber eats , even driver instructions need some munch 😂😂
BRO I SAW YOUR CAR AND THATS HOS I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL WAAAAAY
Welcome to the channel mate!! 👍👍👍
@@marcushayesford me and my mates were out and we saw this sick lookin car so we decided to check it out and it said your yt on it
Hope you do a video on weight balance on the front . It will turn shopping trolley in to a go kart .top one MY. If a nut don't understand what your asking it to do. Slices in with a axe saw or a grider. Down the side. 👍
Maybe one day I’ll see if I can get the front weight balanced. I think in the short term I’ll just get an alignment. 👍
@@marcushayesford out ov interst ?, with or no passengers.
Hi mate is there any links you can send me for the engine mounts to fit we are building a mk1 with a cosworth engine yb turbo we also need a recommendation on which gearbox we should use thanks
Nice 🙂👍
👍👍👍
I got a notification this time 👍🏻
👍👍👍
😃👍
👍👍👍
🤙🤙
Supposedly the 4 door mk1 and 2 escorts are lighter than the 2 door
Yeh I heard that on another channel and googled it. The 4 doors are heavier but defo stronger. 👍
@@marcushayesford I’ve heard they all look better with round headlights 🤷😂
Are you putting the old ones from ester on Heidi and the new ones on ester
‘Heidi’ defo won’t be getting the Bilsteins. 👍
And not a torque wrench in sight 🤣🤠
Torque wrench, whats that?
🤠
I'd like to put them on my mk1 V8 cortina
They seem like a really nice bit of kit mate. 👍
marcus,my mates sell a j reg ford sierra 1.8glx auto,if your interested email me fella,
