2006 Focus Zx4 St
#1
I would like to make 100% sure that I am correct with this information before I prove someone wrong.


We just a 2006 Ford Focus ST at our dealership, the ST model comes standard with the GFX front and rear bady kit, BUT someone said that the frame is the same as the the Volvo, again I was pretty sure that we didn't get the frame in Canada.

Is This True???

Cant wait to prove my point tonight!!!....thanks!!!!!!


yeah he was saying that its the same frame as the Volvo and that is the same engine as the Fusion SE model, and also that the Focus ST handles WAY BETTER then a 2004 focus, I may belive him cause the Suspenion is Eurpoean tuned if I am correct..


Thanks again..

It handles better than any previous sedan, but given the minor difference in anti-sway bars and spring rates, I'm not that inclined to believe it's "night and day" or anything like that over a 2004 ZX3/5.

Also, I was told by my dealer that the 05 standard sedan config (bodywise) is still the standard config for all sedans, and they weren't sure if the Street Appearance package was mandatory on the ST or not. I think the brochure I have at home says it's an option for both the ST and the SE.

Yes, I'll echo everyone else on the frame... it's a Mk. 1 Focus through and through.

33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

This may not constitute absolute proof, but it is something easily verified ... the Mk. 2 Focus which they got in Europe (and we didn't get here) has a 5-bolt pattern on the hub, vs. the 4-bolt pattern they used (and we still use here) on the Mk. 1.
