karlos1987 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am after some ideas to mod my focus titanium 1.6 petrol. I have already changed all the interior lights to blue. I have not added extras like rear footwells if anyone knows how to do these I'd appreciate the knowledge. Any nice mods for the exterior? All comments welcome. Cheers.

karlos1987 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I've lowered my car already by about 35-40mm. Would 18inch fit. I've currently got 16s on there. Ford focus mk2.5 1.6 titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyntdci Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 18's with either 35/40 profile would fit, then maybe camber adjust with geometry allignment...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlos1987 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Haha. Lenny you make me laugh. That does look really good with 18s though. What is the camber adjustments all about? Is it necessary? Ford focus mk2.5 1.6 titanium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyntdci Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 because you have already messed with the oem suspension by fitting aftermarket springs/shocks etc... you need it all lining up so your car sits on the road how it should... once it has been done the driveablilty will be brilliant, and cornering a total difference... it will also grip the road like glue.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford focus mk2.5 1.6 titanium. Yes the camber adjustment is required mate, When you lower the car springs for example 40mm you only need rear camber adjustment bolts cost under 30 pounds for Eibach ones and sold as a pair. If lowering on coil overs you need both front tower strut camber and caster adjustment aswell as rear. When lowering the car squats much like a big foot standing on the roof The face of the wheel begins to face upwards which is known as "negative camber" this causes excessive wear on the inside section of the tyre. By correcting camber it keeps the full surface of the tyres on the road. Better grip on cornering and tyres last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was as easy and cheap as that. Would it be easy for me to fit the camber adjusters myself or do you need a reputable garage for something like this! Ford focus mk2.5 1.6 titanium.

Ford focus mk2.5 1.6 titanium. lol boom over night.Does say miracle grow ALL PURPOSE A garage would need to cut off the fixed camber bolt and fit the adjustable. Followed by laser tracking alignment to correct the angle of the wheels after lowering, you will be glad you did it. Handles very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
