Focus Hatch

[lscfn10]

Yup yup, roll calls are a relatively new thing all around, I dont think they've posted pics of their cars with them yet.

No prob man. I have camber arms that I need to put on, but need spacers first so I have room to adjust. Forgot about those two on the list of plans.

What size tires are you running? With my winter set up I was about an inch lower, and had about and inch of rake. I'd like to get back to sub 23 again, just gotta adjust. Seems like on our cars, with 17s 23 is just about the limit, not quite but its a good low drivable height. I'd imagine wiht the 16s I can go a lil lower, but tire diameter is still same as most with 17's.

Oh yea forgot to comment about your future plans....they are all perfect. Rear needs to be Euro though

You'll be happy with the SPC camber arms. I have them and the adjustment is more then enough. I run 215/40s on my 9s. I think it's the perfect amount of stretch personally. I'm wanting to get just a tad lower in the rear. You still have your helper springs up front?

[lscfn10]

Yea, euro rear is one thing I'm considering, I've actually tried putting the arms on a couple times but the outer bolt on both sides started stripping.

not decided on rear size yet. fronts ill be doing 205/45, rear I might do same, or do a 215/45 and have a slightly wider/taller tire in the rear.

h&r's dont have helper springs. I have about an inch of thread left on the front.

Just picked these up today and wanted to share cuz im so stoked about it. They're legit and I got a hell of a deal, now to just get proper sliders and get them in.

Also wanted to bump thread to remind people that there is some hope for a focus, in light of recent events. Though mine is not where i want it, it shows potential lol.

Yup, that has inspired me to post mine. I can't wait for next year if I actually follow through with the money saving plan.

Screw your money saving plan, go buy the damn wheels right now, you can afford it

Maybe go alot lower? Sorry its not doing anything for me, it just looks like a stock focus.

I rofl hard at this. Have you seen a stock Focus before?

Woot, the pics that I ordered from Killboy.com came today! Love them.

Cars were dirty by time we got to the Dragon, rained on the way. 3 of us from the Downriver Crew took our cars down there. And we even made the Killboy Blog!


We were being slowed down by bikes (cruisers) oh how I **** them lol.


Those two are from the only time that we were able to drive "spiritedly" past Killboy. Car really amazed me at how well it can handle.

Once again slowed up by bikes.


Last run through, drove more relaxed and in a group. Last shot is the one that made it into the blog.

As always, thanks for looking

those tires are freaking huge :P srsly u need a lower profile ones
also check out the portugese guy Focus in build threads
somehow its more attractive than yours, mainly because he has rimz that fit more than yours (imho ofc)

dunno the car just doesnt feel that low :P still uncomparable to stock one
