Hay guys what's up!
Ok so tonight I took my wife's 01 Focus se (spi) out for a quick boot to pick up cold medicine and I noticed the car running sluggish and I think I need new dampers to boot.
The Engine: it has 126'000km and has had its oil changed every 5'000km or 3 months. I haven't changed the fuel filter or done a tune up on the car ever (except to change the air filter) The car just feels slow. What would be a recommended service for it?
The suspension:
Ok its bone stock and my wife likes it just the way it is. Should I replace the springs as well as the struts/shocks? I'm going to use Ford parts because I get a discount through work. The ride is just soft so I think it may just be worn dampers, but if im going to change them is it worth doing springs to?
We plan on keeping this car for at least another couple of years so I don't mind spending the money on it.
Thanks
