As far as I knew there was no difference between strut bars for ZX3/SVT.... Do you mean swaybars?

Not to discourage your purchase or anything, but you do know that the front strut bar in the Focus is pretty much just for show, eh? The strut towers are so close to the firewall that a bar bolted on isn't going to change much.. I'm sure you'll find a hundred threads on different boards with people arguing about this though ;)

There was a thread in the performance section about sway bars recently, Mitch (ZX3TUNING) might have some good suggestions depending on what kind of setup you're looking for, and he should be able to get good products at good prices for you.

I felt it sharpened turn-in on the SPI, but hell anything would improve that stock suspension setup! :D :lol:

I had a nice thick Ractive bar, if you're looking for recommendations.
