Advice On Suspension
#2
are you looking for just springs or a spring/shock combo?
do you have any current suspension mods?

i've siad it in a few threads but i have been having great responce from SVT and Focus owners with the H&R cup kits. the "Touring" cup kit is a 1.4-1.6" drop on the average ZX3 and about 1" on the SVT.

the Big drop cupkit is about 2.5" on the average ZX3 and about 1.75-2" on most SVTs. here is a pic of the big drop cupkit on a SVT i did not that long ago...

with the big drop kit, you will need to roll the fenders slightly to eliminate the rub in the front you will get from the offset on the SVT or EAP wheels and 215/45/17 tires.

$900cnd plus GST & shipping will get you into either.
you would not need to upgrade the sway bars to "tighten it up". however a rear sway bar upgrade would do a lot to make the car feel more "neutral" at or near the limit, a desirable feature if you AutoX or take the car out to track days.
i just replied to another thread, the H&R rear sway bar would cost you $267.95 tax and shipping in.

I'd probably go for a rear strut bar before the rear sway bar but i can always work out a complete package for you.

you do not need a camber kit for any suspension kit unless you are having serious issues with camber wear from not propperly rotating your tires when needed. you will however need a "toe" adjustment in the front and rear. Most good alignment shops around me charge about $60-80cnd for this.



let me know what you would like to do.
