Hi, Guest
This should be fun :D
I just kinda got hit when talking to Kevin (Hardk0re) recently... it seemed interesting. Lotta guys do different things, some savvy sedan owners (like GapBoyPCS - Richard) did the SVT front end conversion... there's countless things to do.
I did some poking around (here, FF, FJ) and found that noone has ever done this. Probably because it's the same as a SVT upgrade, but without the drop. The dampers are firmer, apparently, than the stock dampers while maintaining about the same spring rates and ride height.
An interesting note is that the anti-roll / anti-sway bars are the same as the SVT (21mm / 21mm).
I know it's not a big upgrade in the Focus world, but for the sedan it could be quite significant still. Kevin hooked me up as he was upgrading his S2 ZX3. It's pretty unique, and that fits the bill for what I've been doing to the car all along... not the fastest or the flashiest, but definitely unique.
Anyways, has anyone else ever heard of this before? There's also the option of some of the S2 appearance parts to make a showing as well :D YES I KNOW THE SPOILER WON'T FIT :P
Flame away if that's your thing, I could care less. B)
BAHAHA - forgot to say exactly what... I'm an airhead today.
