Minnesota Focus Owners Club

So nils what your saying is that with the sportline springs it would be to much of a drop for just spring/shocks/struts?

If so, I may just have to live with a 1.5 drop...

Ok After some more pokin around I looked on FocusSport and found all the Suspension stuff I could ever need.

So to run the SportLine springs (2"F, 2.2"R) drop along with the FRPP Performance damper kit how much of this stuff do I NEED?

FS Race Camber Plates?
SPC Adjustable Control arm?
SPC Camber/Caster kit?
SPC Camber Bolt kit?

You could get away with camber plates and bolts.

Those will get your alignment ....close.... enough that your tires won't wear to weird and fast.

or


Also, would the FRPP shocks be stiff enough for this extreme of a drop? I was told on the jet that they would be to soft. Would Tokico HP's be stiff enough? Koni Yellows? Others? Give me some options peeps!

You could get the Multimatic FRPP. I think.....

^you mean dynamic kit? 550 retail...ouch.

Been spyin Tokico hp's...

Any thoughts on if Tokcio HP's would work guys???

Another option i've been debating.

Eibach Sport-System for 00-05 + MassiveSpeed Omni Kit?

Thoughts?

M-5560-ZXM1 (2006+) Dynamic Springs
Drop: 1.5””
F: 120~160 lb/in (est)
R: 110~280 lb/in (est)

M-18000-ZXM1 Dynamic Struts+shocks



Those wont be stiff enough for you? The regular kit is kinda soft(svt like) But I heard the Dynamic is stiff.

The Dynamic kit is pretty stiff, especially the rears. At least the old kit was.

M-5560-ZXM1 $181.50
M-18000-ZXM1 $438.90

I will say that my car never handled better than when I had the Dynamic suspension, I just couldn't live with the ride.

Well here is a guy running the tokico HP's and sportlines...

Heres mine with the FRPP 1.5". I really wish I would have gotten pictures of it with my TD's on it, it looks so much better.

Looks like I found my set-up. He replied quite fast and He never rubs. Has the camber bolts, and i'm not sure what else... Talking with him now..

ALRIGHT! Looks to me like I found the right stuff. I was talking to this guy on [FJ] for about 20 minutes finding out his set-up, and figured out it's about the best I can get. The whole shebang will cost me about $600.

Eibachs= $263.18, eBay
Tokico HP's= $267.61, eBay
SPC Camber bolts= $25.95, FocusSport
SPC Focus Camber/Caster kit= $58.30, FocusSport
Shipping for FocusSport stuff= $11.71
Total = $626.75

Yay! Only $26.75 over budget, WITH the extra SPC stuff I didn't think I needed originally!

I'll add a big thanks to PnkRckr121 on the jet for helping me figure it all out!

I heard the sportlines are softer than the regular ford racing springs. Boomboy on the jet has had both. Also, you forgot to add the alignment into your total. And.... that guy never rubs running different wheels than you, I'm pretty sure the offset on your current wheels are different than the svt euro's.

I heard they fixed the rear problem on the multimatic kit, but that may have been just fixing the leaking issue.
