If you’re thinking about getting an Eibach Pro-kit for your pre-’06 Focus, please read this post before you do.

Okay – it’s taken me a couple of days to figure this out and it’s a little complicated so I’ll try to be organized here …

As most of you know, Ford changed the front suspension of the Focus beginning early in the 2006 model year; and so early springs and dampers won’t fit the ’06 / 7.

And as most of you undoubtedly know the rear springs and dampers of the wagon are substantially different than the 3/4/5 door models.

The combined result of these two facts is that the aftermarket hasn’t yet caught up in terms of suspension kits for the ’06 / 7 wagon – even though they have the same rear suspension as prior year wagons.

BOTTOM LINE: the springs exist, but nobody’s putting them in a kit; and Eibach will only sell individual springs for “warranty or collision replacement;” and while I could go that route “with a wink and a nudge” they are expensive individually.

BUT ---- I can make my own pro-kit for my ’07 wagon.

To do that, I have to purchase a pro-kit for a pre’06 wagon (#3591.140) … PLUS … a pro-kit for an ’07 non-wagon (#35108.140) … taking the rear springs from the first kit and the front springs from the second.

If I do that, obviously I’ll have four springs left over and I do believe they would collectively become an Eibach 3588.140 … which fits any 3,4, or 5 door from 2000 to 2005.

So the question is … does anyone want to be my “Eibach buddy” and take the four remaining springs. I’m interested in doing this sooner than later - January latest.

I’ll make it worth your while by giving you an “all-in” tax included price that you couldn’t match if you were to buy and land it yourself – and with local delivery in GTA included.

The price will be exchange sensitive so I’d like to judge interest first before setting a firm price … but let’s say that if we were to do this today, the number would be about $290 Canadian including local delivery or plus shipping if required.

That compares rather nicely I think to importing it yourself which at Eibach’s list price could be as much as $470 CAD all factors considered – and using the best price I can find on the internet the landed cost could be $360 CAD ---- so you’re looking at saving somewhere between $70 and $180.

So … whaddya think?
