DMc Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I’m seriously considering upgrading to Siltech micro adjustable rear, and super wide front end, plus their lightweight front brake kit. I’ve spoken to Dennis already and Im keen to hear peoples reviews on such, pictures also would be great 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrat Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I have the Siltech widetrack (not super wide) wishbones on the front and I am really pleased with them. Great quality items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I also have the +35 front wishbones and they work very well. Everything fit as it should and the handling is much improved over the stock Westfield set up. The Micro adjust rears are on my list for upgrades this winter but I've not placed the order yet. dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMc Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Thanks @Davemk1 is that the super wides? you got any pics of the wishbones Fitted, would be nice to see how wide the stance is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen_I Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I have the micro adjustable rears which replaced the standard Westfield wishbones. Can't offer any feedback regarding how they perform as my car is still part way through a rebuild but they fitted perfectly and look to be very very well made! Unfortunately I don't have any other pics to hand. They will make geometry adjustments a pleasure at a fraction of the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve20 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I completely transformed my Sierra based SDV with the help of Dennis and Andy at Siltech, great people to work with and quality is second to none. Mods included super wide front end with ARB, micro adjustable rear, rose joints, billet front hubs, Siltech supplied Willlwood Superlight 4 pot callipers, Black Hawk ceramic pads, drilled discs, Protech shocks and a new quick rack from Burton Power, Golf rear callipers and then a switch to 13 inch CXRs. As all mods were effectively done as one package difficult to say which element added the greatest benefit, however total and overall impact was amazing with the car being finally set up by Northampton Motorsport. Spent allot of money but and in my opinion well worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve20 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Not the best photos but may help! With Siltech super wide front and their micro adjustable rear difference in front and rear track is negligible, way better than my original SDV set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMc Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Thanks lads. Just what I wanted to hear. im definitely going for the rear wishbones and brakes, I might stick with my widetrack front for now but upgrade to their uprights expensive but I should be able to recoup some of the cost selling my existing kit.

Steve20 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Here's the link for the rack, I also ordered their alloy rack mounting brackets but sent them back as I wasn't happy with the fit. Used new Superpro bushes which were great with my original steel brackets, bought them from Historic Motorsport. https://www.superproeurope.com/part.number.cfm?partnumber=SPF0932K https://www.burtonpower.com/quickrack-metric-2-4-short-stem-rhd-ford-escort-mk1-mk2-mp196.html Callipers were used items bought from another club member who bought them originally from Westfield. Hope this helps..! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
