I didn't know that AST made Coilovers for the Focus.
And I agree stay away from your lower list. And stick with your mid-range and up. Why not the Eibach Coilovers? Of course I have heard awesome results of the KWs. -Ray-

On the low end, I would consider ST coilovers too. They are KW's without the stainless shock bodies, so you save a little bit there.

Stay away from the d2 and k sport anything really cheap you get what you pay for typically. I have seen the K sports leaking after a relatively few miles. I have been running the KW V3 for many years and like them a lot, I would also recommend the PSS9 or Koni kit
Or even just H&R Race springs and Koni yellows that always been a good set up.

I have D2 coilovers and I like them. No problems with them at all. They have been on my car for over a year now. Atleast 20k miles.

i've heard of Eibachs being mushy after a season and a half.. same with the lower end of your list.
a guy i race with runs the KW 3's and he is in love with them. i've been in the car and they are perfect. that is why i'm going with KW's for my set up. AST's will most likely go on my Miata.

Any opinions on the H&R coilovers from Tire Rack for $944? (For the Ford Focus 2006 ZX4 SE)

^^ Pretty cheap coilovers and from H&R ... interesting.
I at the moment run with the KYB AGX adjustables with H&R Race Springs ... I like the ride, but I should have just jumped on Coilovers last year. Oh well, I am going to ride these out to Christmas and look at some Coilovers myself. -Ray-
