I have D2 (not installed, yet but soon)

Ksport and D2 are the same

and with them they have adjustment with the spring and the shock/strut height, and dampening (like Koni's)

^^^ yes because it is called "coilover".
what is the purple oval looking thing on top of shock?
i heard from ksport that that thing was for mazda3 application and they had to redesign.
did you happen to buy their old setup?

The H&R and KW used a standard height shock and strut, and had all of the adjustability in the springs. right?

D2, Ksport, Cxracing... etc. (look to be all made by the same company)
Have the spring height adjustable AND the shock/strut height adjustable

these aren't the greatest pics but i hope you can see what i mean, as i raised the height of the strut on the 2nd pic

When I was unemployed earlier this year I got so much work done on my car. I was given a fair size buyout so I really didn't need to worry about finding a job right away. 1st time I was able to do that. It felt good having an extended paid vacation. Sucks that yours is so late in the season. Have fun working on your car.

Those rear upper shock mounts look like there for a mazda 3/5?
The Focus only has a single bolt hole in the hatch.

Cool thanx for clearing it up Castone!

I'm sure the mount can be unbolted for use in the focus

Yeah that's what I was thinking, the top can probably just un-bolt from the shock and then be installed into the focus.

i think the focus does have that mount but nobody actually takes it out because we dont need to. the mazda guys do because the cant get to it from inside the hatch so they have to remove the entire mount from underneath instead of up top.
