Looks great mate, I toyed with the idea of getting ST200 wheels many moons ago when I bought my Cat, but looked too difficult to clean so I went for 5 spokes (3 different sets :LOL: )
 
Lol gave them a scrub today wasn't to bad just about get in-between the spoke with out ripping my hands apart lol

Looking good Stu, she will look cool if you get to lower her that much - really nice aggresive stance - good job.

yeah gonna be quiet a big drop so gonna have to see whats the best way to go without getting hight adjustable coilovers. Maybe some mondeo springs as i heard they are a bit softer

I have a full set of PI Springs on mine, lowered 30mm. http://www.potn.co.uk/ford_c1473_1474_1475_1484.htm - they are not too hard but obviously harder than the standard OEM springs.

The only issue I have found is due to the way the car now sits, it wears the insides of the tyres on the front. I have had the wheels fully tracked and they are A1 ok, so it's been suggested I go to coilovers to stop this from happening. However, looked at the price of coilovers and thinks its cheaper just to replace the tyres every couple of years.

Yeah i only have budgets on the front as it'll eat them and i dont really drive that much lol coilovers are very good and had them a few times before just cant justify the cost.

The only way coilovers will help is if you set them to the factory ride height. :LOL: When you lower the ride height you change the camber of the wheel which causes the inner tyre wear.

The only way to solve this is to get a camber/castor kit from BAT Inc. in the states.
This replaces the front suspension top mounts and makes it fully adjustable for camber/caster.
