loxxr6 · 26-07-2011, 03:02 PM

How much harder is the ride?

Fi.ES.TA · 26-07-2011, 06:18 PM

I think they were 180 or 199 not that expensive the ride is not that hard heaps of rebound to keep some comfort.I live in the lockyer valley were the january floods hit bad and the roads are f'd and it still rides great.heres a pic of the car without which looks like an SUV.

vhcbm · 26-07-2011, 07:46 PM

Yeah i installed them myself took me just over four hours i didnt expect it to be that long i thought more on the lines of a couple of hours,but it was my first time installing springs.

vhcbm · 28-07-2011, 06:06 PM

Rightyo, Maybe I need to do this...depending how much it's going to up my insurance.

In Focus · 28-07-2011, 08:11 PM

Do you need to adjust/do anything else with these springs? Thinking of doing it for the Focus.

Nope nothing at all mate,struts and shocks work really well with these springs.
All you will need is a camber adjustment.

In Focus · 28-07-2011, 10:49 PM

You're saying the existing struts and shocks don't need adjusting/changing? Just the camber?

In Focus · 30-07-2011, 09:32 PM

Heres where i bought my springs.

The ford site you just added the link for exludes VAT so they will be more than the price shown.

the camber kit is fine.

But use euro parts for your springs there a tried and tested online parts dealer who me and danny can recommend.

dannyhilton · 01-08-2011, 03:35 PM

Can definitely recommend European Parts. But if you buy the illuminated door sills and gear lever from them, don't get Ford to fit them. Nearly $300 later, lesson learnt.

Car looks the tits matey. Hot stuff!

GoesLikeAZetec · 01-08-2011, 08:40 PM

with the front lip a bit lower, do you find it scraping? it scrapes sometimes at standard height

Fi.ES.TA · 01-08-2011, 10:32 PM

Thanks danny.

Nah ive never had a scrape on the front end at standard other than one time when i first got it,i scraped it a supermarket on the curb after that i was aware and never done it sinse and should'nt do with it lowered.

those that live with driveways on a slope would have major problems and i wouldnt recommend them unless you can park elsewhere.

Quick question mate, I'm trying to buy from european-parts website as well. I'm a little stumped on the payment bit. Did you use German paypal or the "money withdrawl by IBAN/IBC" option. Because I don't know German and I don't know what I'm meant to do with the second option.
