Ford Focus on its way...

[ST33zn]

here's my lovely 2005 ford focus ST.



Was going to roll static, so I picked these up.




Then I made the mistake, and started browsing through the Air Ride section. Ended up ordering some of this stuff.




The rest of my fittings, DOT lines, Paddle valve switches, gauges, water trap,.... etc are coming in today. Then all i'll be waiting for is my UAS strut bags, and SS6 bags for the rear, along with all the brackets and what not. Thank you stanceworks, now i'm broke and my car still isn't slammed.

I'll pass on that idea, your going to have to wait for the rest of my parts to come in. Lol

[Granny Gold]

I am VERY interested to see where this goes.

[SD202]

this has potential.

[ST33zn]

Haven't had much time to do anything too serious, but I've been playing around with some ideas on where I should mount my paddle switches and gauges.

I cut holes in my coin tray and mounted my paddle switches there. Stealth style!!




I'm debating if i should relocate my A/C and fan controls so i can mount my gauges like this:



I'd have to epoxy a piece of plastic on the back side of the center hole because the diameter is too big. then I'd cut it out to the appropriate size. Still not sure what i'm going to do yet, just wanted to share my thoughts and maybe get some feedback.

quick update: my air ride plans are on hold due to funding, LOL. So i decided to throw on the megans, and ride on these for a few weeks. To my disappointment, they are barely lower than my old suspension set up!!



Front gap *all the way down*:


Rear gap * removed spring and locking collar*:


I'm going to remove the rear perch, and remove the locking collar up front and add some preload. Hopefully that helps the stance out a little.

Damn, you should get some shorter springs instead, but I don't know if I'd waste the money if you're going to air it out soon.

[Granny Gold]

Looks like you need shorter springs. Those megans are setup the exact same as my Ksports, and from the looks of it, You're like 3-4" higher than I am.

PM with the stuff you bought for your air ride. I'm considering it for the future, and I'd like to know what stuff I need to get.

[ST33zn]

My air ride project is still on hold! Anyhow, I haven't done much to the car for a while; however I decided to swap out my front springs for shorter ones, and removed the adjusters in the rear. Here are some pics i snapped quickly. I'll post better ones when i'm not lazy
