Nice man. You on Focus Fanatics? You can find SVT springs for like 50 bucks on there. The ST uses the same dampers and sways as the SVT. I've seen a lot of guys happy with the KW coilovers if you want to spend the money. Some RS wheels painted black would look sick on your car too. Can't wait to see the final product!

**** 50 smacks is cheap. Probably would ride like ish though, huh?

Honestly, I say I would love to drop it and dare I say get some new rims, but this is my DD and as of right now the family truckster, lol!

Still may lower it, but doubt I will get rims anytime soon. Thanks for the info as well. I am on focaljet.com by the way, not focusfanatics.

And thanks on the comments. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have a 2000 focus sedan with the svt suspension kit and it handles incredible(without the systm in the trunk) but don't expect it to lower it much maybe 3/4inch.

Just miss the bump. I am sure it will suffice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Cool, will look into it. Although not sure if it is worth it for 3/4 of an inch. I will get that adding the stereo stuff in it, lol! I guess if I do both, it might be perfect, //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Love my Focus. 3 years old, 36,000 miles and never one problem.

Runs wicked!

This car discontinued the SVT Focus.

Mine is not your normal Focus, although it looks like it. Even when it was stock.

I have 2 step daughters, a 20 month old baby and one in the oven. I am lucky I got another system, lol!

Might smoke the tails and maybe paint the housing on the front lights black, but no HIDS. I cannot stand HIDS on other peoples rides, so that would be a no go for me.

Only thing I would really like is to lower it, but would want it a couple inches lowered and imagine the ride quailty would tank.

Smoking taillights is cheap. I did mine for 10 bucks. Buy this paint

http://www.ehobbies.com/pac294.html

Its $4.39 a can. You can either take your taillights off or just mask the car off all you have to do is just spray them to your desired darkness. No sanding, No buffing, No clear coat. Just spray and its done! You might not be able to stand HID's in other cars but once you get them in yours there the best investment. You never have to use your brights and can see everything.

Will look into that, thanks.

Although I visit my parents every so often and the cops there are relentless on pulling me over for my tint on my windows. I believe I have been pulled over by every cop there and even pulled over twice by the same person. They never ticket me though, lol! Thanks to the baby being in there 99% of the time.

I am sure they are nice for the driver as far as HIDS go, just not my thang.

LOL Do you guys live in like crazy country places where they think tint is so crazy? Ive never been pulled over for any tint on my car. I have gotten pulled over ONCE and it was for my headlights being smoked. Just got a warning to

Fawk dood, that was fast, lol!

No, it is a suburb, richy area. Cops are very strict there and the place is on lockdown for sure. I used to have a house over there and could not lock my door at my house for weeks and would feel safe all my shit would still be there. So I commend them for doing an awesome job, just wish they would get off my nutz already!
