ChuckDee · 11-04-2009, 12:39 AM

it should. they changed the designed in 07 if i believed from what it was in the previous models.

Hmm. My brother bought a 2008 that has lowering springs and said if I paid for his alignment we could switch.

yeh that can work. i also have a massive omni kit for sale. if you dont know what that is, its basically a conversion kit to fit previous gen springs that were meant for 00-04 focus onto your ride. if u want more info pm me!

Clarification.... the omni kit allows 00-05 front "struts" to be mounted on 06 and later cars. Naturally you have to use an 00-05 spring with the struts. Both the front springs and front struts for 06+ cars vary from the earlier cars. The omni kit allows a wider range of suspension options than what is currently available for 06+ cars.

06 to 09 are pretty much the same and interchangable. I haven't heard if any changes were made for the 2010 models. As mentioned earlier, you can also use shocks from 00 to 05 models but it requires the Massive Omni conversion kit (a tapered shim and bolt) that cost about 100.00 the last time I checked.
