Install went very well, need the torchs a few times but other then that we were done in about 3 hours. ( NOTE: yes i should have painted a few parts in the back but i didnt have a paint can around so ill need to do it some other day )

Nice - very nice. To my tastes the ride height is perfect and it sounds like it rides and handles great too. Good job.
RE: New Suspension! - ANTHONYD - 03-26-2012
Real nice!
Not too low either!
RE: New Suspension! - JMCustoms - 03-26-2012
No im just about tucking, once the springs settle gonna be just a tad lower haha but it handles sooo good i love it, to the point that the wife wants to lower the 2011 the same way haha
RE: New Suspension! - 1seensvt - 03-26-2012
looks good
RE: New Suspension! - 02_svt_guy - 03-27-2012
Atta boi JM! She is coming along nicely.
RE: New Suspension! - JMCustoms - 03-27-2012
Thanks guys! Like i told a few people, i have the handling that you would expect from a coilover suspension, but better drivability.
RE: New Suspension! - sonic_mikey - 03-27-2012
This is pretty much the exact setup that I'm running on my SVTF. Only dif is I opted for the steeda 28.6 mm sway bar w/ the hnr adjustable one up front. This setup is banging tho, have fun in those corners!
RE: New Suspension! - JMCustoms - 03-27-2012
Well the only reason why i got the svt is because i got it for 40$ lol
RE: New Suspension! - NOS2Go4Me - 03-27-2012
Nice work! That's pretty much the ideal setup in height for a Focus in my mind.
RE: New Suspension! - GFXjamie - 03-28-2012
Springs are the only draw back - to soft.
If they made higher rate springs in that height they would be money! Same set up I use to have but w/ big rear bar. I find my racelands to be similar
RE: New Suspension! - JMCustoms - 03-28-2012
Your right Jamie, the only thing that i dont like is the fender rub on one corner ( the corner you always lean lol, driver side front ),but other then that i am not complaning haha
RE: New Suspension! - 0XDESVT - 03-28-2012
very nice stance you got there
RE: New Suspension! - Focus man. Focus. - 03-28-2012
Fender rub? I'm much lower and I don't rub at all. Strange.
RE: New Suspension! - JMCustoms - 03-28-2012
Well i looked over were it rubs, and im sure the fender isnt in great condition, its been banged up before and the lip isnt straight, but when i say it rubs, i mean when i take a hard right turn haha. Or a big bump of dip in the road
RE: New Suspension! - NOS2Go4Me - 04-04-2012
Roll the fenders then? That would likely remove the issue.
