Ahmotorsport Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Don't think so, RS2000 runs an MTX75 box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demented Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 What difference would the MTX75 box make to the type of dampers used ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demented Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 As Ahmotorsport suggest, due to the different type of gearbox and driveshafts, is the diameter of the spindle carries, which accepts the bottom of the damper a different size on the Escort RS2000 to that of a 1.8 ?
