Svt Suspension? - Mystake - 03-19-2010
Are they THAT good? Is it worth swapping one in?
And if such, is this legit?

thats legit, but ken could likely get it for around that price, just PM him ZTWsquared
usually around the 300$ mark, shocks, struts, sway bar and all hardware aswell. really good price thats for sure. mite want to check into new control arms aswell for the rear as by now if suspension has never been touched your bushings willbe f*cked and seize right onto the rear bolts.
and if ken doesnt have a good price, PM steve from tousley LOL control arms are 71$ from him each, suspension is like 230$, this is all USD and add duty for that aswell

Go with Eibach pro-kit, in my opinion $300 for .5" drop isn't worth it
And i'm sure Ken/ZTWsquared can hook you up with a good deal with those too

Agreed, 0.5" isn't too much. Look into the Ford Racing kit, it's a 1.5" drop or the Eibach as Gord mentioned. I like the FRPP one a lot. No problems or squeaks yet. When I was talking to you I thought you wanted to go 2"? I would contact Ken about it as well, he got mine for me and it was the cheapest option.

for the price i would say any one that is driving a stock focus is crazy.
i am personally kicking my self for not getting this kit the day after i bought my zx3. sher its not the lowest but $ for $ your not gona get any spring strut combo for any where near that prive.
its a grate kit way better than stock plus you retain almost 100% driveabilety.

Steve from Tousley had it for $329 . With shipping to Chicago and exchange , it cost me $400 cdn . Someone brought it here for me for free . I was hoping you have it and could tell me about the improvement over stock .

i have a full set of used svt shocks and struts ( used for 60k) for sale with brand new never fitted eibach sportline springs for sale. i was going to fit them to my svt but i got a set of kw's instead. pm if your interested.. i cant post in the for sale section yet.

I got my kit brand new from a local speedshop here in Hamilton for cheap, I think it was $400 taxed in, and it took them about a week to get it in.
(the drop was noticeable in ride and look... I actually miss the ride of my SVT kit over the Eibach kit I have now, which is a much stiffer ride.)
