ant784t Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Im looking at lowering my focus by 20mm but i dont know if the zetec s is already on lower springs as standard. For example 10mm, so for me to drop it 20mm more do i need 30mm springs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedmonkeydude Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Do the right thing and get coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The Eibach lowering spring kit will be perfect for the job mate. It's a dealer upgrade too! So easy to get hold of! Ride and handling are great with this too! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 On a Zetec S on standard 17" wheels do we really need rear camber bolts? I know the steering limiter is only needed for 18's but do we really need the camber bolts? Been thinking about getting this done - Eibach spring set is about 120-130, and fitting about 100 or so at my local back street garage.

TDCiST Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Most people I know that have had the eibachs fitted the camber bolts too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 may as well do the bolts then, then get a 4 wheel allignment done too which will be about £40 or so. I will probably with wait until after the winter and then get it done, might even do it myself and save the cash as I have all the kit as I know "sports suspension" does have different camber settings to standard on the focus. Anyway my car looks quite low anyway when my fat backside is sat in it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EjaayLloyd Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 does anyone know of some cheap 80mm springs for a focus 1.6 mk2.5? been looking around and cannot find some cheap that will go 80, i kind of want to stay away from coilies as my budget isn't that big for suspension and my friend has got some horror stories with his coils ( that were cheap coils ) if anyone can link me up it will be much appreciated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Camber bolts are definitely needed once lowered to prevent uneven tyre wear. Anything lower than 30mm will be outside of the dampers operating range as a result hitting a pot hole will cause massive bangs hitting the limit of the strut. Soon and I do mean very soon your dampers will start to leak and thats an mot failure. Springs are only good in small doses anything else needs coilovers and keep in mind cheap coilovers are worse than stock springs in every way Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
