Svt Suspension Question......help - imncrxtc - 11-25-2009
will svt struts on a non svt car, using non svt springs lower the car? basically, do the svt struts sit lower??

Struts control rebound.
Springs control height.
In a nutshell.

.5" from what i hear. And stiffer too.

i installed svt springs on my brothers zx5, and it sits a lot higher then my SVT......this is why im asking. Futhetmore, I want to dump my zx3 without going coilover, who makes the lowest springs?
Svt Suspension Question......help - reldridge - 11-25-2009
I think the strut is about 1/2" shorter that the standard strut at full extension. Valving is mainly the difference.
Have the springs had a chance to settle yet? Are the springs indexed correctly?

The Eibach Sportline springs are listed as 2" front and 2.2" rear. But they will make your car VERY low. I am sure some of the members here can attest to that.

"indexed correctly".....i dont know what that means, but anyways its staying the way it, its all even.

As in the ends of the springs are sitting in the little notches or holes where they should be, and not out causing the spring to sit higher in the strut than it should.

SVT kit is supposed to drop a Focus .75" from stock (It's what I had on my Focus, made the ride much more firm and certain)

Sportline is the lowest you'll be able to go with springs.

i believe people have different definitions of rough riding cars lol
my focus with ground control coil overs on factory struts will literally bonce change out of the cup holders just on dally driving. and if i ever do come to a big bump i have to come to a complete crawl.
if i could do it all over id get Eibach Sportline a decent drop and a ok ride.
Svt Suspension Question......help - ZX3_2NV - 11-27-2009
I had ebay coil springs and the ride was pretty ruff till I installed aftermarket struts.
Svt Suspension Question......help - Jmountney1 - 11-27-2009
ahh coil springs thats the word i was looking for.. i was thinking a bought getting struts but. im thinking on replacing the focus. so they will have to do for now.
i should of just bought Eibach Sportlines in the first place.
