Thinking about going to coil overs but I don't know much about brands that are offered. How low can you go with coil overs? what company makes them for the focus? how much are they? any help would be great. Thanks!

H&R or FK :) either route you go make sure you swap the struts as well at the same time. Bilstein are super good to.

Stay away from the drop zone ones or any ebay ones.

You can easily get away on stock struts with springs but on coils the upgraded struts is a must. I found the ride way to harsh.

Ive heard Koni yellows are a nice kit as well.

Be prepared to shell out almost a cool grand though. :huh:

Arent coilovers one unit, so the above doesnt apply? See HotBits and others

a coil over is a spring with an adjuster. that picture is of a coil + strut.

Well, you have:

"Coilover Sleeve" which is the Ractive, Matrix, Ground Control type thing

and

"Full coilovers" which is the FK, H&R and Hotbits type thing.

Definetly go with the Full Coilovers

there is also Tien coilovers for the focus.

good coilovers = $$$$$$
bad coilovers = terriable ride

i have FK ...top notch quality.....excellent ride [they actually use koni yellow shock inserts]
