Focus RS

Hahaha! I had to go off road after picking the kids up from school and coming the back way home. Big, doubled wheel tractor was a little wide on a blind corner. Not what you really want when you have had the car less than 24 hours!

You now have me making enquiries to ford dealers.

There is a Nitrous Blue one at John McGrath Ford at Mitchell (ACT), been there for ages, 2017 model

[peal]

There seems to be heaps of 2017 stock in a lot of dealers. Bargains to be had.

Still think it’s the most fun car I’ve had by miles

[evo-gsr]

Have to agree with that ^ !

[DrNick]

Went for a wet spin it this today. Lots of standing water and had my son with me, so easy cruz.

Looks like it might have been a nice road up the hill, Needs tints stat though!

[DrNick]

Yeah need to get tint sorted for sure! It’s a nice drive when dry, just needs to watch for the 4x4’s.

What’s everyone been paying for these recently?

Going to ford dealer tomorrow, has plenty in stock apparently.

Whiteline rear springs, car sits level now... if it settles too much, then I'll take the fronts out of the box. As it sits, fronts can gather dust.
Definitely going to order the DZX spacers now!

Been thinking about lowering the rear of my ST. Did you fit the springs yourself?
Got a quote to supply and fit rear springs (King) from local suspension shop - $550! Seems excessive $$ to me. Does include a 4 wheel alignment though.
Springs are $220 from them, I've seen them for $159 on eBay. Suspension shop reckons the Focus' are set up from the factory with high bum to make them handle good, didn't seem to recommend lowering the rear by itself.
As much as I like the look of it being lowered a bit more at the front the not 20yo anymore me wants practicality these days and be able to clear speed humps and get up my driveway without scraping.

[FLI355]

Same. I’d lower mine but don’t see the need to fuck with factory and want to be able to get into the garage without scraping.
