Don't remove the shock extender on the rear until (if) you fit shorter
rear springs.
If you are just changing the shocks with the existing springs then swap
the extender from the old shocks to the new.

Decided to upgrade rear shocks (as looking a bit tired), fronts have
been upgraded to Gas Struts and was thinking same for rear, looking at
Kayaba Gas ones, as seem reasonable value for money.
I want to upgrade these to make sure all is fine, then will measure
all springs and see where we are at. Managed to source a set of
'Quantum Red front springs (thanks to Bob Craig) which have been
refurbed to go on front, will then look at rear.
I presume fitting the Gas type to rear wont cause any issue's with
removing the shock extender ? (as recommended by Jim Hearne)
Thanks all for input.

I've recently changed my wheels 15" with 195-50-15 tyres to the
correct set up 14" with 185-55-14, and my 2+2 looks like a Land

I was going to change springs anyway, but now have brought this
job forward as not looking as I want.
I understand that the manual states 'Quantum red springs' for
front and Fiesta mk2 1100 springs for rear, however when looking
at lowering springs, most seem to be a standardised Fiesta mk2 set
up , most covering full range excluding XR2 !!!!
Anyone got any experience with lowering springs , any
recommendations would be great .
Car has std. XR2 engine set-up, thanks.
