So I got my KYB GR2's and iam putting in lowering springs to drop 1.5 Inch's on my 95 EGT. Iam wondering if anyone has dropped that much and if so am I going to need to roll my rear fenders?? looks like it will be pretty tight. As iam riding on 195/60/15 summer tires but swapping in the winter to the taller 185/60/15. Also is there any other problems I may run into with this project??

I am on Intrax 1.8" lowering springs, GR2 struts, and 17" rims. I have wheels that are properly "plus-sized" and I have zero clearance issues, but I did roll my rear lip for security; hate to cut a tire or gouge a rim. Even fully loaded, the wheel never comes too close.

Wat? 185/60 is smaller then the balloon 195/60's.

Ok so I changed my struts I took back the kyb's and I bought the s/r from zxtuner. I ordered the Perch Conversion Kit also is that all I will need to make this work for my 95 egt. Also the Strut rebound bumpers? Do I need to get a set of theyes as they do not come with the struts?

I have them installed on my struts and I would install them for peace of mind...you don't want to bottom out the struts. They may work without them, but unsure of your spring rate.

Ok finally going to go down literally after a month or more waiting for my spring I got them. So this weekend zx2 sr's with S.T. lowering spring new bumps, bellows, and spring rubbers. Also new slotted rotors with hawk pads finally will post pick’s Sunday when finished !!

All right, so today is the day

 

[cheap-escort-CAN]

Wow, That was so easy. Nothin to it, thought it would be a nightmare, looks good and not very bumpy at all

 

[LOWETGT]

Nice! That is a clean GT for north of the border. :thumleft: I take that is where the grill is going? What rims are you running?

 

[LOWETGT]

OH, and where'd you source those rotors?

 

[cheap-escort-CAN]

yes the good old great white north I live on the coast so it dose not see to much snow/salt but last winter was a different story!!! The rims (15’s) that are on there I got on craigslist I think they are like a no-name brand. I have a friend with the same set, his are white neither of us know. Great offset, they do need to be re-powder coated but that can get done at my work. The rotors (power slot) are from a Canadian auto part store "lordco" $60 it pays to know the manager! Thank you for your comment she still has a lot to go but this is a good start.

Will this work with the 2nd gen escort's being a BG as well, or are the 323's mounting points different???

arent the gasses produced from the rotors not properly released when they are on backwards like that? i thought the slots were meant to go one way...

 

[cheap-escort-CAN]

That’s a good question I will have to look into that

 

[cheap-escort-CAN]

I don't know if it makes a difference but I loogled it dose anyone know??

The Vette link looks like your setup, but the caliper is on the back of centerline, making it right. Our calipers are on the front, so I think it is different direction...

 

[cheap-escort-CAN]

After some searching....

The only correct way to determine what side a directional rotor goes on is the internal vane direction......

Or maybe I will just have to admit I failed

no worries i had my tire tread backwards for like a week when i switched my wheels over hehe
