My daughter has been racking up the miles on her ZX3 Focus and the front struts were starting to show signs of wear and tear. So for X- mas, I purchased her a new SVT suspension kit. The kit included a thicker rear anti-roll bar, and a set of springs and struts from the defunct SVT Focus. It only lowered her car maybe an inch -- it would take a trained eye to instantly notice the difference -- but the handling is much improved. And that's saying something, because in stock trim the little Foci are like go-carts.
If you've thought about picking up a Focus to use as a commuter, and you want to play around with it a little, I would highly recommend this kit. Two thumbs up!
