Now, check out Eibach and BAT Inc and H&R, They are pretty reputable for suspension components.

If those bumpy dirt roads are full of ruts, rocks and potholes you may not want to lower it much.......maybe the SVT suspension would help, doesn't lower it too much and gives better handling just not sure if it would be an option for the 04's. Then you could add the sway bars of your choice.

yeah but living on bumpy dirt roads i dont think he would want to lower it that much. the svt suspension would probably help a lot compared to the regular suspension. and for like 250 bucks you cant go wrong.

haha yeah the f150 would have been the way to go. nice one. maybe you could get a lift kit for the focus and then put some mudders on it. you'd be the first.

The Focus type cars they use in rally's are exactly that. Focus "type". They use different everything on those cars. No stock pieces. Cept maybe for a dash piece or something small like that.

thanks for all the suggestions guys. the SVT suspension might work. and i would have gotten the new F-150 but instead i bought 2 focuses (on for me and one for my dad). any idea EXACTLY what suspension they put on the focus rally cars?
