2012 Focus on Coil Overs

[Chaos09]

I can't find the spring rate. They are a little stiffer than stock. The ride quality is nice. Here is the link that works.

I'm slightly confused, I see the coil over strut (coilvers) setup in the front but the rear still looks like a standard spring/shock combo.

On the rear the spring sits on an adjuster. That's how it adjusts. Other than that it is a spring/shock setup. Trust me it works.

Instead of the pre-load adjustment being on the strut, its moved over to the spring since, its not a strut on the rear.

Looks really good man! How much does it rub in front like that? What size tires are you running on there?

[Chaos09]

The front doesn't rub. I don't even rub on speed bumps. I have 235/45/17 tires.

OEM is 114lbs front and 143lbs rear
eiback pro kit springs 154lbs front and 188lbs rear
eibach sportline springs 131lbs front and 143lbs rear
the ksports are 504lbs front 336lbs back

the ksports seem too stiff, so are these less stiff?

the ksports are fully adjustable so you can fine turn them for performance and comfort, keep in mind that coil overs and springs are different

looks really good, could we see some photos from the front and rear?

PS thanks for giving me the mod bug jerk!

Lol. The car is in the shop getting the steering TSB done. When I get it back I will post some new pics.

yes, springs use stock shocks, coilovers have their own shocks, I was just using the springs for comparing the stiffness. The ksports are significantly stiffer, and are supposed to be track only. I did a lot of research on them, and there were complaints that it was a really rough ride for a daily driver, even with the settings set soft. They probably perform well because of the stiffness, but the vmaxx or h&r's might be better for people who are not putting it on a track, but I don't have numbers for either of those.
