I'll start off with Hello! I'm new to the Stance Works community with a 2009 Ford Focus SES coupe. It's not lowered....yet. I joined this forum so I could learn. I'm not here to be a smart a**. I have no doubt that this forum is packed with members who have much to offer. Good to be here!!

always thought these would look awesome slammed and some chrome Rota's. looking forward to updates

[BoostResponsibly]

I'm setting money aside for H&R coilovers right now, so I'm gonna start with that. As far as wheels, I've seen some '08+ with the Rota Slipstream I believe, they look pretty BA.

Thanks lyonsroar!! It's been like a week since I've been on FF. I just added links, I probably should have done an "insert image" is that what you did here? But thanks for the assist!!

[BoostResponsibly]

Does anyone know of any other foci running rotiforms? I'm looking at the BLQs for mine, I think it'd be an interesting look. Let me know what you guys think!

[electricalbox]

Looks like a clean platform to mod, welcome OP!

[Sabertooth]

I'm really interested to see how this will come out with the plans you have in mind. Nice ride nonetheless!

Are focus's still 4x108? That makes it fairly tough to find a good fitting wheel. Im a big focus fan, so much fun to drive in a cheap package. I had the first focus (that I was aware of) that had ST170 bumpers on it. I miss that car (except that it was yellow).

Good attitude to have! Pay attention and you will learn a lot. But a good basis to a decent looking car are lots of low, rolled fenders, and wide wheels. PLEASE for the love of god dont get Rota's to replace the stock wheels. You would be better off with spacers on the stockies.

Yes my focus, and I believe, up to 2011 is 4x108 PCD but the 2012 and beyond will be 5x112 As far as finding wheels, it's tough because there are a lot of off brands (not sub brands of quality wheel manufacturers). So finding cheap wheels is easy but finding high quality wheels can get expensive fast. For instance the Rotiforms I'm looking at cost an extra $20 each wheel to have them drilled to 4x108 (but at least they can do it).

But yes, everything you just stated is going to happen.....in time

Here is a little update

I picked up MOMO Corse RPM 17x7 et42


BoostResponsibly

And then I got some Extreme Contact DW to wrap them in


BoostResponsibly

I'm hoping to get them mounted at the end of this week or the beginning of next

[Dani]

Those tires look huge for those 7,5"

Not a fan of the momo's hope you ditch them for somthing more wide.

[BoostResponsibly]

Yeah the tires are a bit meaty, I know. But it'll do what I need it to do.

Eventually, I'd like to get some BLQs. But right now this is what I got and it's definitely better than having my EAPs on there.
