#1

I got the Eibach Prokit springs (1.5" drop and the Sportlines are about 2") and I am totally screwed for winter IMO.

As long as you have stock bumpers on the car.... Your fine having a 2 inch drop during winter... Even a 2.25

Bah I don't know what you ladies are all bitching about.

I had the wings west lip kit + eibach sportlines and I wasn't screwed or anything sheesh. What kind of clearance do you need S2steeda? 1.5 inches is litterally the hieght of what? Your focus car key? If hit something that is gonna do damage, then that extra 1.5 inches probably wouldn't have made that much difference anyway dude.

Crazirich: I'm not the expert here but guessing your car has the old SVT springs and is already 1/2" lower than other Focuses. So the net effect of other springs will be 1/2" less than advertised.

If you do take off your (SVT springs) I'd be interested in taking them off your hands. They fit my sedan I assume? experts? About a 1/2" is as low as I can go based on where I drive, especially in winter. Must be nice to live where all these other guys do.

i don't think my springs are svt, for the ride height is quite high like the se models, they have a 2005 (5S) part number in the ford listing
