	Yo, Was just wondering what peoples recommendations for lowering a mk3 fiesta were as i want ours dropped. Cheapness is prioroty! Not chopped springs mind! Will the shocks and springs from say an xr2i or rs turbo fit a povvo spec 1.0? How low a spring on standard shocks is reasonable? Looking to go as low as possible really.... Any info would be great. Thanks.

	XR2i/RS shocks and springs will fit on and drop your prob about 20mm. If you then went for XR2i lowering springs, 30-40mm is normally the max recomended on stock shock's. That said, on my old mk2 fiesta, I fitted some -40mm (I think) spax XR2 springs onto standard 1.1 dampers, and then took 2 coils off of them as it wasn't low enough and that drove nice and the dampers were still in good shape 12 months on

	Personally I wouldn't bother with XR2i or RS Turbo suspension, as standard they might be slightly lower than povo spec springs but it's hardly worth it. Although if you really want too...... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fiesta-mk3-xr2i-standard-suspension-springs-front-rear-rs-turbo-si-/180895406004?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a1e34d7b4 For actual lows on the cheap without chopping springs, lowering springs are the only real way. These are cheap..... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-MK3-SUSPENSION-LOWERING-SPRINGS-60-50MM-/290666196930?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43ad0e2fc2 Just out of interest, why do you not want to cut the springs? Providing you secure the springs once cut and you exercise an once of grey matter with a grinder, they are a genuinely good option for cheap lows.
