what if i........

[FuelSlut]

I want to soften up the ride up front on the svt focus. I'm seriously tired of bending rims and I need new sway bar links AGAIN! Who sells a spring around the same ride height as stock svts or should I get a stock focus spring/coil and if its too high just cut a bit to keep same height?
- love my car but damn I never imagined I d be going to a shop every other month 2 straighten my rim , new alignment, or new bushings and links. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

maybe trade rims/tires with me. i have yet to have a problem with any kind of ride with them. no bent rims or anything like that

I think both the Rousch and Saleen kits had very similar (just a bit lower) ride heights as the stock SVT...probably a bit higher quality too.
If you are having issues with the Euro rims - then stay away from the SVT 5 start rims, they have a history of bend/brake issues.
Have you tried a little taller tire? Should help soften the ride...
Anyway - good luck!

Dan what type of sway bar links do you have. if there the stock ones there junk get the moog ones theyare strong.saleen has great strut and shock kits with coil overs

moog endlinks and smaller wheels, get adams or stock Focus wheels

You could get an OEM stock focus kit but that would ruin the ride lol

You dont want these rims. I still have 2 that need to be unbent, and lots of scrapes on the fins from being in and out of the shop to unbend. I need to find some used svt contour wheels. they are 16's right?

Ah I see. Well let me think about it, I do like the euro wheels, I wanted to try a taller tire first and see how that goes.

With a taller tire you may rub, not a definite but it is a possibility.

Oh I can't win w this, well looks like I'm gonna try the regular focus springs. My friend has a wrecked focus and I wanna strip I down, ill keep the svt shocks though. I think this will b my cheapest solution.

You should probably switch the shocks too, they also have something to do with the harshness, stiffer the shock stiffer the rebound, harder ride

Let me know if you need some SVT contour wheels. contour.org has a great classifieds section and almost always has someone selling their stockers.
