Fad, ever the joker
Spacers should be here tomorrow! Will see if I feel brave enough to fit them myself
I'm gonna have to buy a low level jack though, my current one doesn't even go below the doors....

I got them from ESP Design/Rude Racing mate, I ordered them Wednesday at 4pm, they arrived Thursday at 3pm!
I was going to set them halfway and work my way down, but we decided to set it to the bottom and wind it up, which we didn't need to do! Also on the rear you get an adjuster for the spring, took that out so it's sitting lower than the 70mm they quote 
Fully recommend them!

Were they easy to fit and much improvement on the handling? And do they make them for the ST as the engine is heavier and weights the same as my TDCi !

Fitted them in an hour and a half! Handling is immense tbh, the tyres let go before the suspension!
Yeah they do, here are the ones I got:

And the ST ones:

The ST ones don't go as low though??

Small world, your car is what made me get them for my old Fiesta! Unfortunately I smashed 2 of them to pieces. I think if a set came up I'd definetly have them, they look so good and even on a 5 door Fiesta my old one got some looks...
Love the LCR Splitter, I want to do that on mine but a bit unsure now as it's bad enough with it catching as it is!?!?!

Spacers
They go behind the drums, supposedly saves strain on bearings. Bit more effort into fitting them though.

Just to throw something out there but surely its just easier to buy some 7j wide wheels and it will look much better?
Sounds like spacing the rear drum set up is argo, what happens when you decide to change the wheels in a few months time?

Maybe so Fad, but I don't know if I want new wheels, plus then they might be too wide on the fronts?
It's not really agro, maybe an hours work? Granted it'd be easier just to buy the circle spacers but these are more permanent.
If I want to change wheels I'll take them off if it's a problem

Looks so good now the coilys are on making me want to get some for mine some slightly bigger wheels or wider wheel might really finish it off imo as the arches are really flared and the wheel look a little lost the wheels on the blue st would be perfect but car is spot on mate
