WTB svt suspension
#4
I bought that kit from summit racing....its pretty cheap and you get almost everything u need, but however, i recently swapped out the suspension parts from one focus...to another...then another. (crashed first focus, installed parts on second then bought another focus then swapped the parts again!) depending on how many km are on your focus, most stuff should be replaced/be hard to remove. i had to replace....twice.. both front sway bar end links, lower rear control arms, all hardware for the arms, rear sway bar ends/bushings/hardware....the whole sub frame was rusted out so the bolts, which are used for alignment, wouldn't come loose and had to be torched...which in turn melted the bushings in the control arms...which was a little annoying...and costly...

but...the handling...wow, a noticeable difference, a little stiffer then stock, but still not to bad on bumps, this kit though only offers a 0.5 inch drop.....
ill be at the Monday meet if you got any questions

but essentially i want the full svt suspension. I dont know whats in it or what it consists of... like this underbase carriage thing that Kev did (I'm more of a go straight than twisty turny kind of car guy so no clue about suspension)


Go.

All you need is two struts, two shocks, four springs, and two sway bars. Although personally I wouldn't bother with the front sway bar given how extensive a job it is to replace.

While you're at it, you should replace the endlinks, the mounts, the spring seats, the bushings, the dust covers and the hardware.

Ford Racing offers part number M-18000-ZX3 which is just what you need ... and the kit is a lot less than buying the parts individually.
