*EDIT*
Bottom line. They do not fit a 2014 Ford Focus SE 5 door with a build date of 07.23.13. The TOP perch is NOT the issue. The bottom perch is NOT large enough to house the spring. Once in however, they rub the car.
I will apologize now for no pictures BUT please realize I dove right in, had to manipulate them to fit on the bottom perch, run into normal mechanical install issues (things never go right), and then after they were in... realized the were going to rub on the side of the firewall.
The bottom perch of the shock/strut is just too small to house these things. On top of that, the diameter of the overall spring is larger than stock.. causing it to rub when compressed.
These might fit a small portion of 2014s, but not mine. Trust me, I tried. I even thought about modifying other things.. but decided not too with this new of a car.
In the end, my only option at this point is Coilovers. The only one I am finding that indicates a 2014 fitment is Ksports. Depending on how the night goes, they may be ordered soon.... I wish I could say STs would fit but I am not finding anything stating they do. I am not concerned about the bottom but rather the top mount. I just don't know if that has changed too.
I just can't believe FORD changed this part of the vehicle for ~6 months of production. It just doesn't make sense. Without seeing a 2013, and basing just on the diameter of these springs, everything has a much smaller diameter.
Hope this helps out some that were waiting on my find. Again, I was along during install and fighting a lot of things... so I just never picked up the phone/camera. Trust me, if they fit you would have photos of it. They just don't and I am bummed....[sadpanda]
I will be happy to answer any questions people might have. I am sure I am leaving something out.
Part number was 4.13435 - Eibach Sportlines. 2012-2013 Ford Focus HB. I am open to selling these at a discounted rate. But looking at shipping, it is going to kill me to go too low. In essence, I am looking at ~35-40 to ship to the midwest. I may try and sell them locally first. No miles on them but there is some minor scuffs due to install... of ONE spring only.
Forgot that I did take some shots of the spring fitment:

So, I researched my vehicle via http://www.etis.ford.com/. According to my VIN entry (then selecting "There are more minor features for this vehicle, click to expand this list." on the bottom right), I found the following regarding my springs:
BV61-5310-NG* Left Front Coil
BV61-5310-NG* Right Front Coil
BV61-5560-NG* Left Rear Coil Spring
BV61-5560-NG* Right Rr Coil Spring
Build Date: 23.07.2013
Would it be too much trouble to ask someone with a 2012/13 to plug in their VIN and compare the coils? In another thread there was suggestion the top hats/bushings may be different thus not allowing us (2014 owners) to use springs from Steeds/H&R and the like.
If the springs are the same, it might suggest mechnic(s) error - essentially freeing us 2014 owners up to purchase away. Anyone willing to help? More than one owner would be appreciated in case there is some differences.
