yup - the 2010 LCAs are upgraded (and actually what you will get from Ford) and that's what I put in the red track rat when I did the suspension and brakes last year.

yup ... and not to give away my mojo, but I've been buying some specific 2012 suspension bits and so far 2 of them are identical to the 00-11 - and cheaper. More on that later.

Has anyone else been under a jaguar x-type? (Think its that one, or the s-type) almost a cut and paste of a focus rear end. Same thing with the mazda3/5

I couldn't remember which one it was, I just remember being under a jag at work and it looking very very familier lol
i CAN tell you alot of parts for the V6 x-tpe are the same on focuses ... i have been repairing the x-type for some time now with spare focus parts XD quite funny when you pull a jag part and it cones back with a ford part number ( yes i know ford owned Jag) but still funny how many parts i have used from a focus on it

Ken - let me know what's common if you will for the 2012 vs the 2000. It's nice having it back on the road. f**k I missed booting around and not having to brake for most corners
I put on the LCAs from a 2011 Focus - so heed Ken's words guys, the new ones are redesigned/reinforced, and anything 2010-on for used will give you the same "upgrade". In other words, stay away from 2009 and earlier rear LCAs.

Ryan, I'm honestly not sure what's on the car currently. Later on this year I'm going to upgrade to a set of Eibachs. It corners pretty flat, so let's call it a set of SVT bars for argument's sake.
