Their progressive rate design provides a balanced combination of comfort and handling, delivering improved stability and cornering performance while maintaining ride quality.
These lowering springs are compatible with 1983-1990 Ford Orion models, including MKIII-IV variants with GAA, GAF, AFF, and AFD chassis codes.
