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

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?
