NOTES
The Wide Track Suspension has been developed specifically for the Mk2 Escort,
but each system is taylored to the car it will be fitted to.

Subaru Strut
JEMS have re-developed a Subaru strut to fit a Mk2 Escort. Like the Wide Track
Suspension these are bespoke made for each car.
New Escort Rear End
JEMS are currently developing a new rear end suspension and axle assembly with
heavily revised pick-up points.
WIDE
TRACK SUSPENSION
Ford Escort MkII
The JEMS Wide Rrack Suspension system was originally produced for Wealden Racing’s Escort running in the Ford Saloon Car Championship. The front end is increased by 30mm each side to bring the front wheels in line with the rears. This allows the car to be fine tuned depending on the track it is running on.
If over-steer is a problem the rear track can be widened. On a tight track you may require sharper turn in, in which case you can widen the front. This is not possible if the track is different to start with.
JEMS use the Reiger Suspension shock absorbers for their
Wide Track Suspension system. Reiger is an independent organisation with
an international reputation for developing and producing shock absorbers,
especially for use under extreme conditions in motor sport.
