Escort Si-130 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 They all look the same but they are different. I think if you also check on Ford microfish you would see they are different, it is done to the weight of the vehicle. I remember when I put the 3 door Escort RS2k suspension on my 4 door Orion it sat lower at the rear, due to the rear being heavier. But it looked better and would make you think the car was lowered slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdscort Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 he must of had excess stock on the 96> cabrio dampers because surely they aren't right for mine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
