Eibach used to make a Pro-kit for wagons (check my sig - you'll see I've had a few LOL) and I put it on all but two of my wagons; unfortunately Eibach doesn't sell the kit anymore but I believe the rear springs can still be purchased from Eibach as separate service items.

Below is my 07 wagon, built in December 06 - the last week they made Focus wagons. You can see the Eibach Pro-kit evened out the height of the front and back.

I get a discount too - however anything from Ford is much cheaper in the States and most aftermarket stuff too.

Which dealership do you work at?

Thanks for the information ZTWsquared. I will probably keep the stock springs. Lowering mine would lead to problems as it often ends up on roads that it shouldn't be on. Especially on fishing trips or when we go out hiking and the higher back end levels out once the wagon is loaded. Your wagon's ride height looks excellent and it probably handles excellently. Though I've never complained about the handling characteristics of the Focus. Before we bought it my wife and I had been renting small cars for long trips (about 1000 miles ) every month for about 7 months. We had tried every manufacturer and model that the rental companies had available at that time so that we could get a good idea of what we would eventually purchase. The Focus was the obvious choice. Great accessories, handling, and gas mileage. The only thing it lacked to me (not to the wife she likes the gas mileage ) was power. It has turned out to be an excellent car with very few problems.

I don't work for a dealership, however my niece does. Metro ford in Calgary. She is the one who sold us our Focus and our Ranger.
