just started installing the suspention on the car today
195 55 16 tires wont allow it any lower for the time being but i dont mind it my summers come back from the powder coater mondat so il get the tires on them and set fit

What suspension are you running? And if you can't go lower with 195/55R16's, what are you planning on using regularly?

225 35 17's
koni coilovers from CFM
and it will only go down a little more not much as i still want to be able to drive it and yes the tires clear as i have one on a bent svt wheel and it does not rub.

ohhh dont tell me that is your garage..i wish i have one..


and your wheels, which color are you going with??

wheels are black and metal flake OEM SVT wheels


ya the cars in the garage
30x40


this kinda gives an inside size veiw

and before i get questions whats the van lol

flat nose econoline

If your having trouble with a 195-55-16 rubbing it will be worse with a 225-35-17.

the 195 55 16 are 1 1/8" taller then the 225 35 17. i have no width issues or height issues at all nothing rubs and its stiff as hell so no trouble here the car is gettin the wheel lips Rolled prior to paint so that will help even more on clearance

Nice size garage!

Is the van where you sleep?

That's not a garage, that's a nice little shop at that size!

Thumbs up on the SN-95 love.

it seems to get the job done.
me brother installed a forced air furnace in it last winter so it makes it even better. the shop sits at 55* with the HEAT OFF so it helps

shes jammed up pretty good 2 mustangs being build and the focus coming apart for paint.

This might be a dumb question, But why so low?

After 2" drop You need to avoid EVERYTHING.

I remember back in my racer days we dropped civics this low, But why a Focus?

With the right set-up you can get the perfect drop, without future damage...


Am i getting old?

2" drop on civic is low but not on focus.

My 17"s Almost tuck @ 2"
