Any suggestions? A good thing is most of the suspension is carry over from 2007. We will be working on new parts for the 2008 Focus starting first quarter of 2007.

Yes I have ALOT of suggestions lol. Unfortunately most of it is Focus specific. Alot of it not cheap.
LCA's front and rear, go figure. Rear spring set to bring the rear down to 4", mine is still to high and H&R has no time for a custom set right now. Door covers, to remove the OEM panels and cover them with something. A bolt in triaglated(sp) rear shock tower support. Shift tower riser bracket, to move the tower up and forward a bit closer to the wheel. Give a little more time and I will come up with some more items.

Why front? For adjustability?

Yep! Some just don't want to buy the plates. For me it is for strength. All the weight on my car is in the front. Sometimes I think I can just pick up the rear and slide it around. also it would be a good place to mount a camera.

How about a pair of machined adaptors to mount a 2.5 or 2.25 inch race springs in the rear control arm, so that people have the option of using eibach or anybody else’s race springs. Most of the coilover kits tend to be pretty soft in the rear meaning you have to run massive sway bars and risk cracking the LCA.
