Here is a super deal for anyone looking to upgrade a
standard Focus suspension to SVT specification. With the
SVT model being discontinued, we have a supply of new
production overrun SVT suspensions. These are brand
new, in the box, Focus SVT: struts F/R, springs F/R, bump
stops F/R and rear sway bar. This kit is a steal at $259.00 ($US)
and the perfect budget upgrade on any non-SVT Focus.
Ford retail on these items separately is over $600.00 (US) . Get
them while you can, supplies are limited.
Would I have any issues? No speculation please.

Damn thats a good deal.
To my understanding, only the wagon would have problems with this kit. The sedan and zx3 suspension should be identical.
Dan, Your friendly neighbourhood asshole.
I do installs and build FG stuff, pm me if you need help with anything. Im cheap.

Other than you have to spend time or $ to have it install, I don't see issue here. BTW, who is selling it at that price?

Ditto on dan, wagon is the only focus with a different suspension setup and is only the rear shock absorber. It has an eyelet on one end instead of the threaded rod.

Rear springs are different too on the Wagon..as we've notice with Vito's car. ;)
I think you should get it, that's a steal. If you ever have to replace your stock shocks it would probably cost more for the Monroe ones. :blink:

Hey Jay,
I know my car with the wagon's springs looked jacked up. Until we cut the springs and everything went back down.

well i've got the Apex kit in, and those springs were identical as well as i can remember.
Makes sense, carrying groceries and soccer balls would need a different spring.
