Wow ... not to threadjack or anything, but I can do 2 new Ford OE upgraded LCAs plus 8 new bolts and nuts, and new adjuster cams, for 245 CAD plus taxes.
And yes - those inner spring compressors are the s***s - I borrowed one from Partsource for my mechanic to use and he gave up on it ... in the end I decided I wanted the heavier duty LCA from the 2009 Focus and bought them anyway.
