Lowering Springs in a 2007 Ford Focus

Now another small question when I got the parts store what would be the best car from 00-05 to the parts guy it's for or are all the struts have the same part number for 00-05

Depending on what you want to achieve with your suspension, the parts store may not be the best place to shop. Chances are you will get nothing more than a soft-riding strut, no matter what model you ask for. I've even seen online parts stores that list the same strut for regular and SVT models.

The OEM "high performance" struts were from the SVT model - and that's the bare minimum you would want for a lowered suspension. Ford Racing also produced some even stiffer suspensions, like the one I have on my track car, from Tokico.

I know there are some good struts suitable for lowered suspension available in the aftermarket, but I've found the best value for me has been Ford OE struts - especially their Ford Racing Kits.

Having said that, I have the luxury of buying in the US; if you're in S. Ontario, I could do for you what I do for most of the guys in the GTA - either buy and sell the parts to you, or let you use my US PO box and import your order.

For example: I could sell you the Ford Racing SVT replacement suspension kit, as shown below, for $235 CAD + HST, all-in including taxes, duties, fees, shipping etc and meeting up somewhere in the west end GTA.
