It would be way too expensive!!! Because of it's length, you would pay more for shipping than the cost of the bar!

UPS Ground takes 5 business days to the West Coast from here.

Just a question a noob would ask, what exactly does a front stress bar do? How many would you need and were are they installed?
Easy to install?

Stress bar gos on top of strut tower bars. You mount it in your engine bay.

In theory it stiffens the body because it reduces body flexing, but providing another piece to bridge the gaping space of engine bay.

In Focus the benefit of the Stress bar is not as significant as in other cars, because our body is already very stiff (especially up front), but people still claim imprved handling.

Overall, for 40 bucks it is a no breainer - makes the car stiffer a little bit, dresses up the engine bay...

oh and it installs in 20 minutes.. the easiest instal out there.

where would it install into, the side of the body where the engine is? would this be custom or is there allready slots for it to drill into?

see the above post above your's. It installs over the strut tower.

Black or red for a liquid grey car?


And the stru towers have the screws you justtake off and put in over the bar...let me kind a pic.

the picture is of the Zetec Engine, but the bar is the same thing.. (shaped a litte differently to fit our engines)

Igor i would say black too keep with the "Dark theme" of your car seeing as hows its darkish. but if you want it to stand out i would say red that would look pretty sweet. itd be like BAM wow look at that stress bar!! hahaha so how much do stress bars for focuses go for? is that 39+shipping a good deal?

it's a smoking deal.. the only other one on the market is $90.. this one is so cheap, because the manufacturer (Focus Central) went out of business (but since Stress bar has no maintenance, you do not need to worry about them being around )

it's the FC stress bar.. the FS one costs $90.. this one was originally $50 I believe.

Igor,


I have both red and black in stock. Red, I believe would be a good color to contrast with the gray of the body and all the black that is under the hood.

Either way, thanks for your interest.

I hope that this is still for sale... I think I will be buying one a week from today if you still will have them.

I got a white focus, and a red stress bar with the black engine will look awsome.

hetrain
12-02-2005, 11:24 PM
Well Hold on...

Ive hit a bit of a wall... I have a 05 white focus. The engine is all black, so I cannot pick if I want a black stress bar to stay with the black engine, or red, or chrome!!! Later I might get some engine parts painted red, but who knows.

What does everyone think?

Chick
12-02-2005, 11:29 PM
Red.

Tony D
12-03-2005, 07:56 PM
Red if you are going to use other red accents under the hood. Use high polish silver if you are going to use another color to accent the engine compartment.

I have all in stock at the moment.

Tony, got it in a little while ago, and it has a ding in it, right down to the metal, like something rubbed it pretty hard. Probably happened in shipping. I am gonna look it over again, may be ok. If it's right on top I may have to call ups or something. Speedy delivery though, thanks!

I got my stress bar in today.. I can DEFINATELY feel a difference in hard turns.. my body doesn't seem to move as much as it did stock..

Although the bar didn't fit perfectly.. I have it on 3 of the 4 screws, really tight.. I have to wait to jack the car up this weekend to get that last one to fit.
