Will It Fit? Svt Suspension In Sedan? - 2001 ZTS - 10-31-2004
Here is a super deal for anyone looking to upgrade a
standard Focus suspension to SVT specification. With the
SVT model being discontinued, we have a supply of new
production overrun SVT suspensions. These are brand
new, in the box, Focus SVT: struts F/R, springs F/R, bump
stops F/R and rear sway bar. This kit is a steal at $259.00 ($US)
and the perfect budget upgrade on any non-SVT Focus.
Ford retail on these items separately is over $600.00 (US) . Get
them while you can, supplies are limited.
Would I have any issues? No speculation please.

Damn thats a good deal.
To my understanding, only the wagon would have problems with this kit. The sedan and zx3 suspension should be identical.

Other than you have to spend time or $ to have it install, I don't see issue here. BTW, who is selling it at that price?

BAT Inc.
I know Chris from CTA is a distributer do think it would be best to go through him or with BAT directly?

Ditto on dan, wagon is the only focus with a different suspension setup and is only the rear shock absorber. It has an eyelet on one end instead of the threaded rod.

Rear springs are different too on the Wagon..as we've notice with Vito's car. ;)
I think you should get it, that's a steal. If you ever have to replace your stock shocks it would probably cost more for the Monroe ones. :blink:

I did not know the rear springs were different. are they beefier?

Hey Jay,
I know my car with the wagon's springs looked jacked up. Until we cut the springs and everything went back down.

If you REALLY wanted to lower the Wagon in the rear you could put a ZX3/sedan spring there. :) But the fronts are the same.

well i've got the Apex kit in, and those springs were identical as well as i can remember.
Makes sense, carrying groceries and soccer balls would need a different spring.

I pick up my SVT suspension from CTA on Saturday, worked out to $430 including tax and shipping.
Working backwards from $430, by my math $260US=$315CDN + $47 tax + $68 shipping/broker=$430. Good deal on the shipping considering size of the parts, even the smallest item is often $80 with UPS.
New question:
The 2001 ZTS had a slighter larger sway arm either front or back or both that other sedans (and ZX3's??) did not have. Does anyone know which one(s) it was?
Anyone want to make an offer once I do my SVT instal in the spring?
