you could always get the ST170 struts like I got, and will be installing in the spring
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Why not go for the SVT spring/strut kit
$384.30 from Steeda

Or get the SVT damper kit and some Eibach pro-kit springs

Damper kit is $262.01 from Steeda and I've seen a lot of the prokit springs for cheap on kijiji

I will have a set of lowering springs for sale ,cheap , used only this summer . I will install a new suspension , Multimatic , which comes with springs , so I won't need a whole collection of springs sitting in my garage (I still have the original SVT springs) . For now I am waiting for the camber plates .

The ones that I have on the car are about 20% stiffer than the original svt springs and these are the ones that I intend to sell . I am thinking 60-70$ . In case I will sell the car someday , I might want to put back the original setup .

The camber plates will be shipped to Chicago and it all depends on a friend of mine (trucker ) to go there and pick them up for me . He said january , february . This way I can avoid GST , PST , brokerage fee and other taxes .
