Focus Hatch

[lscfn10]

Finally got my car close to where I want it stance-wise. Still need to dial it in, but I cant wait to post anymore. Still a lot more to do to the car overall, but its just my daily driver.






Those are from the day I got the wheels on. Rolled fenders and dropped a little more. Still need to go lower and spacers in the rear.



^^lol wide angle lens

Still work to be done, but I'm loving it right now. Wheels are 16x8.5 up front and 16x9 in the rear. Running 205/50's all around cuz I got them for a steal.

C&C welcome.

I love it like I've said countless of times before.

Looks dope man. Should be money when you are done with it.

Spacer in the rear + a little more negative camber + a little more stretch = Perfect.

Oh yup. Trying to find spacers. Camber arms are waiting to go on. Bolts are stripped.... And proper sized tires once I destroy these f1's

Looks promising, but something different for a change ftw

Thanks everyone. No new updates, other than a few little touches here and there, but few of us went out and my friend's snapped some pics. Heres a couple that one of them took.




Sorry bout largeness of pics, next size down on flickr was just too small.

Just realized I never posted stuff about details of set up. Just in case someone wants to know.

Suspension is H&R Sport Cup Coilovers, front has room to go down, rear has one coil cut out. Currently running KYB AGX shocks in the rear due to blowing out one of the H&R's. Gonna have the H&R's rebuilt for more low.

Wheels are Simmons Type 670. Were winter wheels for an old Fox Stang. 16x7 et19. I had two widened to 8.5 et38 and two to 9 et44. Then had them refinished to like new condition.

Tires are Goodyear Eagle F1's, 205/50. Not my first choice in size, but I got these tires brand new for a hell of a package deal with the wheels.

New pics look good man. I like the stanced sticker roll call on the back glass. I have been waiting to see that on a Focus, but your the first I have seen. I don't know how those 9s clear your dampers in the rear with a et44! Did you also remove the adjusting cups in the rear? I've been back and forth about cutting a coil in the rear on my Focus. I would think you would have a decent amount of rear rake (rear lower then the front), but it doesn't look like it from the pic....maybe just a tad. Keep up the great work man. What are your future plans? I hope to see it in person at the All Ford Nats.

Thanks.

3 of the 4 downriver MI foci have roll calls actually.

Well, due to the cutting and welding process in widening, its not a true 9 inch, loses about a 1/16 according to the shop, so it just barely clears. When I installed the AGX's the right rear wheel actually rubbed on the plastic dust cover for the shock until it cut it. Now it clears fine! lol.

I bought the coilovers "used". Could tell they were never actually installed, but dude had lost the adjustment perches. So I'm running no perches with one cut dead-coil. Car actually sits at right about a dead 23" at all four corners for ground to fender. Its going lower, just one of the adjustment nuts up front is being a bitch and I said screw it for now.

Uhh, direct future mods as of right now are svt mirrors with chrome caps, install my svt door handles, and svt front bumper and side skirts. (local seller on bumper and sideskirts and he's not sure if he wants to sell right now, he doesnt have a rear and I'm not sure where I wanna go with that yet.)

Yea I'll be at the Ford Nats, I cant wait, soo pumped. I gotta figure out how to register, keep forgetting to look.

[98LowRanger]

Hmmm....never seen their roll calls then. I'm glad to see the placement of them also

Yea when I turn my camber in my 9s cut a hole through my rear shock dust cover too. Thanks for all the info. The rear of my Focus is at 23 3/16" on KW coilovers with the adjusting cups removed. I'm on 17s though. I would think you would be lower then 23" with that cut coil, but maybe it's due to the tires your running.

Oh it's easy to register for AFN. Just go to their site and follow it to AFN info and you will see it. You just have to fill out a little info, doesn't take long. Last year I was the only one with a Euro "stanced" Focus there, but this year there is going to be a bunch of us!
