Hey guys I have a 2001 ford focus se with svt 17 inch 7 spoke rims on it. I want to lower it to where the wheel well and tire are almost touching but not fully. Only like a 1.5 inch drop. I just want to get a set if lowring springs for now. Any lowring springs that can make this happen?
Thanks I'll post a pic of my car in a few.

There's lots of springs available that will drop the car 1.5". While all will be shorter they will also be stiffer. This requires a firmer and shorter shock to adequately dampen the stiffer shorter spring. I do not recommend that you match a lowering spring with a stock shock. The spring will overpower the shock leading to poor handling and ride quality. Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) makes a spring and shock that drops 1.5 inches and costs about 300.00 delivered (available from Tousley Ford or Central Florida Motorsports (CFM) a FF site sponsor .

Is that a ford dealer ship? If so could I use my discount that set up im a ford employee at jim burke ford in bakersfield California.

Haha I bought my Focus as a CPO from Jim Burke. If they sell things from the Ford Racing catalog, then yes. Otherwise, no. Looking at the FRPP site, though, it looks like the closest FRPP dealer to Bakersfield is 70 miles away in Lancaster.

P.S. you misspelled Bakersfield in your profile

Tousley is a Ford dealership near Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Your gonna have to go 2" to get the look you want.

True. A 1.5" drop is pretty mild on the Focus. Check it out:

Damn that's a nice focus yellowjelly I don't think I've evere seen it before.


/back on subject.

2" is mild IMO.. I'm running 2" springs

If your going cheap.. Eff it springs will work. If you want a car that's going to handle right when you throw it in a corner then get koni coils

Yea 2" is mild next to coil overs. I'd be extremly happy with 3"-3.5".

Just remember that a Focus doesn't have much more than 3 to 4" of suspension travel to begin with. You'll be on the bump stops a majority of the time unless you have some "really" stiff springs.

Yea I know, ill never have the money to slam it down anyways. I would also have to scale down on wheels get adjustable rear arms, adjustable front end links, camber plates the whole nine yards.

Thanks for all the help guys. Bit sadly my car is on the shop with tons of problems so now I have to wait to lower it.
