This may sound like a stupid question, but would springs from a 2010 focus rs fit a standard 2006 1.4 focus, any experts out there

    Hi Noel

    Yes but it would be over kill

    ST springs are hard enough compared to the standard springs on my previous car (see signature)

    Stiffer lowering springs may benefit.

    ST springs will be more available than rs ones, and probably cheaper for you.

    Sorry to sound negative

    Not sure if they would as RS has the revo knuckle, but even if they did, the 2.5L RS engine and gearbox will be a LOT heavier than your little 1.4, so you will end up having the front of the car sitting much higher than it should be.

    The ST springs will have the same problem. Better off going for lowering springs, designed for your engine (and its weight).

    Cheers Alex and James for the replies. Thanks for clearing this up, i just saw a set of rs springs going for cheap and never thought of engine weight or anything like that, so would eibach st springs be the same, would they work on my 1.4 or would it leave it sitting too high and too firm to drive.

    Eibach Hubcentric wheel spacers would work fine with drums as they utilise the original studs to bolt the spacer to and then the spacer has additional studs for your wheel to bolt to. Check though as ive read that they will only work with certain design alloy wheels that have cut outs on the rear of the wheel centres so that the original studs that protrude through the spacers can sit in.

    These are the Eibach spacers which are available in various sizes.
