The New Stance... - 05-BLACK-ZX5 - 06-05-2005 Finally received the wheels after a couple months of back order. So I managed to get everything installed a couple weeks ago. Changes have happened since though. I now have a 2005 Focus ST front grille in black, so no more chrome eye-sore, and the rear badges are shaved with the 'Focus' emblem being modified in favor of it stating 'Fucus' instead. :D Here's a few pictures. I think the lens on my camera is getting dirty, so forgive the blurriness of some photos. These were taken the day after I had it done, so I sure hope it's settled a bit since these photos were taken, otherwise I hear this one a lot: "Those wheels look awesome, now you should lower it!" *sigh* Here's the 18" Kazera KZ-A wheels I was waiting for oh so long to receive. They ride on a set of 215/35 Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires. The New Stance... - ANTHONYD - 06-05-2005 Beautie! The New Stance... - FociPhil - 06-05-2005 i love your rims, your car kools super tight... how much did you drop it?? looks like you could go another inch if you wanted to safely... a nice exhasust out the back should look nice too, and maybe some tint on your headlights B) The New Stance... - 05-BLACK-ZX5 - 06-05-2005 I have the Eibach dampers & springs, for a 1.5" drop. I'm not too concerned with the height, I'm more concerned with the increased handling ability. If you lower it too much, it doesn't help with that. I have lots of ground clearance for speed bumps, and I don't have a lot of jumping over bumps when going around corners, so it helps me keep a good line. The one thing I need now, is a rear sway and I'll be happy for a while; oh right, that and for my tires for finally be clean of all that preservative grease! :lol: The exhaust is coming...eventually. It supposedly shipped out Monday last week from TruBendz, so I hope it will be arriving soon. 2.25" cat-back with a Magnaflow muffler and 3.5" tip. As for the headlights, as soon as some black-housing covered projection headlights are available, expect me to be one of the first to model them. :D For now, I might just put some vinyl on the top points since they have no function except for being very chrome which goes against what I'm trying to do.

I'd be picking up my fillings constantly on the roads around here :bowdown: NefCanuck The New Stance... - 05-BLACK-ZX5 - 06-09-2005 Haha, yeah, I'm thinking about removing the graphics. I had it done shortly after I got the car. As for the ride, it's actually not so bad considering it's lowered. It doesn't ride like my shocks are posts, and so are my springs; as some lowere vehicles do. I'm sure I'll do other esthetic mods once they have more parts available, and my debt is just a *little* less. :lol: The New Stance... - SVT ZX3 - 06-10-2005 Those wheels look great on your car, keep up the good work! P.S.
