That's a nice drop. I wish the snow gods were a little more forgiving up here so I could have done the same.
Good work!

^-- I drove my 1.5" lowered focus to AND from Thunder Bay during a 72 hour blizzard. Yes, we drove the northern route when all you could see was snow in front, and higher snow to the sides..
The only issue with the suspension was the tired neck at hour 10 of the 17 hour drive... mostly caused by the raised frost ridges in the road for hundred km stretches at a time. a 1" drop doesn't make much difference in clearance, and I've taken my car off road (and over 8" ditches).... it has a lot more clearance.. even lowered than people give it credit for. I've even accidentally hit speedbumps at speed and never bottomed out (though it was scary!). As long as you stay away from retardedly low body kits, there's no reason a moderately lowered focus should have troubles with anything. I may have only put 30,000km on the SHM kit, but it saw everything from smooth and warm weather to -48C and 1000km of studder bumps. The only issue it ever had was the consistency by which a drive wheel would come off the ground pulling out of my underground garage driveway (or going over said 8" ditches).. But the traction control usually ensured there was SOME power going to a grounded drive wheel... Contribute to focuscanada.net's future! Donations of $20 and over get a custom title! 
What spring do to make a car look alot better, I hope you did an alignment after you put the springs in.

And go easy with weight on the long rides. Ask DARKPUPPET what a trip to Algonquin a bunch of camping gear did to my tires before a lignment. :lol: I had slicks on the inside of my rear tires!

^ I've seen that before Anthony, my buddy's Cavi didn't get an alignment, and he had one slick a few months later! :lol:

looks much better ashley, although if you get the mirror caps painted body colour it will set off the look more.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
