So, my Focus, being 8 years old and having 195,000 kms on it, is getting a little tired in the suspension department. I broke the front sway bar last winter (thanks Puppet for the replacement!) and have been replacing end links yearly it seems (good luck breaking the Moogs now!).
So, I broke down and ordered the SVT kit from Steve @ Tousley Ford (from FJ). I ordered the M-3000-ZX3A, which is the preassembled kit (new strut bearing, strut mounts, isolators, everything). No SVT sway bar in this kit, but that is ok for now. I'm going to pick up some new rear end links as well.
Am I missing anything? I bought this kit since it is preassembled (no spring compressor needed for the fronts) hoping I can do it in the driveway. Oh, and cheap too. $286 plus shipping to Ogdensburg UPS Store (~$40), then my time and money to go get it. Declared at the border, under $45. Grand total for parts is under $400 by the time I buy the end links.
Any body have any tips/trick/suggestions?
