Took long enough, but i finally lowered my beast lol, here is the parts list:
Andrews old drag suspension (KYB strut/coils up front, eibach 2.2" springs in the back)
KYB AGX rear shocks
H&R 25mm adjustable front sway bar
Steeda competition 30mm rear sway bar
MOOG front LCAs
MOOG front and rear sway bar links

Bolts holding the ball joints in place, took some convincing to remove (and a very large hammer)

Stock link compared to MOOG link

Front sway bar in all its glory....Note: never again will i do a front sway bar on a focus, it is by far the MOST ridicules part to install.

MOOG rear link vs Ford link

Stock rear sway vs Steeda sway
[Image: IMG00145-20100617-1359.jpg]

all done!

The only issue is that rear sway bar isnt perfectly center so the end link on the driver side slightly rubs the LCA when the wheels move at different times, like going up a drive way on an angle or a speed bump. It creaks like a mofo but ill fix it later

Nice work, looks awsome. In your pic of the rear sway bar links, they are assembled wrong. You know that right?

i got them for about 190ish each, cash, all in. It was more expensive then the BJ, but personally though replacing just the ball joint isnt worth the hassle of sheering off the fcuking rivets that hold them to the LCA lmao. I had just a torn driver side ball joint, but I decided to do both LCA's anyway
