Advantages....
____________________

Looks better.
Handling? I didn't notice much difference. I still theink the sedan handls like a waterbed compared to the hatches.

Disadvantages...

Small wheels look funny (I think your wheels are 17's no?)
The struts in you car will need replacing in a year or two.

Heh, I've never driven a hatch remember, all my previous experience has been four door sedans of various sizes (The last one that was in the Focus ballpark was an '85 K Car that was my first car when I got my license... POS that it was, left me stranded more than it ran :angry:)

Not even better handling in the winter? I'm wondering if part of my problem with winter takeoffs was the fact that the stock ride height has a much higher centre of gravity (IE: If mass closer to ground = better traction)

17? Hell no, I'm still running 16's guy (I told you I was a cheap bastich :lol:, I bought 16 rims so I could re-use the rubber :P)

How long will the stock struts last anyways? I mean have the extended Premium warranty now but I think struts is one of the exclusions anyways <_<
