I fitted monroe gas dampers for a 1.1 fiesta and leigsfords (speller??)
springs again 1.1. This was in an attempt to stop the rear tyres rubbing
the arches when the boot had a load in. The handling was not improved or
changed from the factory built set up. even tho one of the original
dampers was leaking the rear tyres still rubbed. So no change to mine.
The consensus from people in the know was Xr2i set up at the front and
1.1 at the rear. Q Stourbridge tried sensatracs and other 'cheap'
alternatives but could not improve on standard ford for a budget set up.
To add ours was built fron a 1.6 Zetec Si and the front corners are
completely different to an Xr2 due to sizes of dampers, wishbone pins
etc. So be careful if sourcing second hand.

Hi Al
Can you please advise as to the correct/best standard spring and
damper setup for the H4.
I have the Zetec Rs1800 engine up front with Avon ZV3 155/55 R14.
I'm afraid I can't afford an adustable set up at the mo so it will
have to be standard fiesta springs and shocks.
I think I saw somewhere that it should be XR2i at the front and 1.1 at
the rear if so has anyone fitted shorter springs at the front.
My car seems to be a bit high at the sharp end and is bouncing about
too much at speed.
many thanks in advance
Trevor
