The offset you want is 42mm (ideal) but 42mm to 49mm will work. You are probably getting rubbing issues cause the SVT rims being 49mm are at the max of the 'ideal' range. Anything less then 42mm and you got or will have problems with the tires sticking out to far. Over 49mm and they will be in the wheel wells to far.

What would you guys recommend for my stock wheels. Ever since I changed they seem to stick in way closer in the wheel well. I want them pushed out a little more to give me more of an aggresive look.

I don't know, the rim offset is what determines how far the wheels stick out. New rims?

My stockers are the ones that come with a 2000 Zx3. 15"
The 17's are Monza Team Dynamics.

I just received an email from AMI Motorsports and they told me that the FK suspension wouldn't fit an SVT. Does this make sense?

[ZX3TUNING]

they are wrong, the FK suspension like all ZX3/sedan suspensions will fit the SVT.
it will not show as much of a drop as posted but it will fit no problems.

[svt_rodg]

this is the email i got:

"The SVT focus has been modified to the point where FK automotives High Tech
Kit cannot work on the car only with a stock Focus."

[ZX3TUNING]

i hate to say it but they are idiots.
i have seen SVTs with the FK kit on them, i have installed them.
there is NO difference between the SVT and the ZX3 suspension mounting points or anything.
if they are telling you that i would probably not buy anything from them as they don't know anything about our cars.

but that is me

[svt_rodg]

do you carry FK zx3tuning?

[yeloZX3]

if you want to lower the car and maintain a comfort ride, i'd go for either eibach or FK...

from what i know eibach is more comfortable =) but FK has lower prices =)

[ZX3TUNING]

i no longer carry FK due to how FK opperates in North America.
i used to sell FK but they recently restructured and dealing with them will be a nightmare should anything ever need to be covered under warrenty.


i carry H&R, Bilstein and Koni.
i can get Eibach but it's special order and i don't get very good prices on it.

[S2]

Are the Eibach dampers still on backorder?

I just called & emailed these guys and told them it fits.

Also told to swing by focaljet or focusccanada.net for more info.

"Sorry from what we were told at FK NorthAmerica is the High Tech kit from FK wouldn't fit the SVT this incorrect information could also be why FK NorthAmerica is no longer. I shall have all my sales reps updated to these new findings, I appreciate the time you took to send your email.

svt_rodg: you may want to consider Tein S-tech spring, lower the front for 2.3" rear for 2" and the price isn't that bad.

I am planning to switch my sportline to Tein, here's the link http://www.tein.com/ti/g40.html

i was thinking about the tein s-tech springs but i noticed on some pics of cars that the rear wouldn't lower that much compared to the front.
