With my youngest son out for the weekend, we upgraded the Focus wagon (aka SVT-WGN). In the before and after photos you should be able to see new shocks (KYB); the existing H&R lowering springs; the new slotted rotors (powder coated blue); new brake pads; and a heavy duty Eibach which we also powder coated blue rear sway bar (visible just behind the shock). We did not have any high temperature blue paint, otherwise we would have painted the calipers as well. Just another job for another day.
Up front we also installed new slotted rotors (same style as rear, only larger); new struts, a blue powder coated Eibach heavier front sway bar and topside, a blue powder coated strut bar. (All to match the blue SVT interior.)
At the rear, we installed a new set of LED tail lights. Small problem to solve (probably with a resistor) as the flash rate is much faster. Will clean the car for a Show & Shine this coming weekend, and will try to get a glam photo.
Still having fun, going into our fourth year, still not finished, needs paint, front SVT bumper installed, new tires (yeah, that many kilometres on it), Nav/Sound System installed - all when there is time and a deadline.
