Ah, but lowering a car is taking outside its spec. A spec Focus has been tested as "should" be able to survive a Canadian winter, including the roads, if properly maintained :unsure:
Once you lower it, all bets are off. It's why I only went the SVT suspension route, my car is a daily driver and I have to be able to get where I'm going at all times.
