With all honesty our cars are not fast by any means and with that said the price to hp/tq gain is small for aftermarket parts. My advice would be to just do aesthetics and handling. Replace any worn/ripped bushings and motor mounts, get some coilovers and have a shop install them with a wheel...
a few posts did mention that they were needed if dropping because of the length was shorter than stock. I did buy the fronts already Jackie and put them on
I noticed I had to put washers on though to fill in the gap as the nuts were (slotted?) At the end so couldn't turn them all the way on if...
So I scoured the p5 section and couldn't find a answer if the ford escape endlinks are needed for coilovers. it is only mentioned when people are doing struts and springs.
Seeing as I can adjust the height of where the endlinks connect to the Ksports, I would assume I do not need them.
How much rattle did this setup create? I assume it would be a good idea to install some dynamat on the drive side?
I'm looking for a small upgrade from the spare tire sub, but it needs to be out of the way as this one is since I use my car to transport stuff for work.
