Featured Replies

Hiya, Just replaced rear spring on my focus and now its standing 6" higher than the rear tyres and when I sit in the drivers seat I now fall forward onto the steering wheel. The car looks stupid.



You’ll need to tell us s bit more info. What springs have you fitted is a good start lol

Probably the wrong ones lol

Reminds me of some of the boy racers 30 years ago who thought that their Escorts looked good like this lol.

But seriously, springs do settle so they may drop a bit over a couple of days.  Or the car may have been lowered previously and you've replaced the springs with standard ones...  Or you've fitted the wrong ones altogether lol. 

@GRINGOTTY don't worry about it as Tomsfocus mentioned it's just settlement my mate replaced the complete rear of his 51 plate focus estate that he had before and it looked like an off roader at the rear about a week later it looked normal again 😂

Looks OK to me.

That poor focus RS 😢. Ain't getting any performance from that if its lifted that high. 

Yeah Zain, it's ruined. If a car could talk, "what the hell have you done to me?"
