***06+ Suspension Conversion Kits!!!*** - Focaljet

**K STYLEZ** · 10-25-2007, 11:23 AM

Ever since the 06' Focus was released, aftermarket suspension offerings have been sparse at best due the a slightly redesigned front strut setup...

While the 00-05 cars have a wealth of options, the newer cars have but a few sets of springs available, so much that you could count them on one hand and have a few fingers left over...

Due to the many requests, Massive has developed and tested a simple conversion kit that will allow 06'+ focus owners the ability to use ANY existing early Focus suspension component. The kit offers a very simple install and is manufactured in house of high quality materials. The kit will be fully reversible should you wish to put the car back to stock. Official pricing not confirmed, but expect this to be up on the website this week.

See below a pic of our 07' ST test car, dropped on the full Saleen/Eibach setup. The car also features the Saleen 17 Inch wheels soon to be offered on the site.:

Just spoke to our Ford parts guy. The 08 spindle is the SAME PART NUMBER as the 06+!!! So I'd say we are 99% this will offer the 08's the same abilities!!!

**f2focus** · 10-25-2007, 01:19 PM

Karl the 08 springs are different from the 06 and 07, just an FYI for you.....I got a conversion we are working on as well.....

**K STYLEZ** · 10-25-2007, 02:51 PM

Thats the beauty of this setup. The 08 springs ARE different. But this will allow us to use the entire proven 00-05 strut and spring offerings.

**MidWestRacer** · 10-25-2007, 05:30 PM

Question. Will this conversion be safe for "spirited" driving? I assume it would be but I don't want to purchase something then throw the car hard into a corner and have some suspension bits come loose.

**K STYLEZ** · 10-25-2007, 05:47 PM

Abolutely. We wouldnt have it any other way.

**K STYLEZ** · 10-30-2007, 03:37 PM

These are officially ready to go. $129 for the kit, $99 if purchased with a suspension kit of some form. Find it Here

**whyme** · 10-30-2007, 04:23 PM

how well will these work on a car with race springs that is driven damn hard?

**CWCZX3** · 10-30-2007, 09:00 PM

So you will or will not have to use the old style struts?

**mr900f** · 10-31-2007, 12:56 AM

So will a 2 inch drop(as an example) setup be 2 inches in the 06+ cars with the conversion kit?

No safety issues at all. It can be used and abused. Our Test cars have certainly been put through it all.

The kit is to allow use of 00-05 Struts on 06+. So it would be for anyone trying to use an early style suspension kit such as the Saleen/eibach, fr SVT, ect, ect.

Yes, it would be the same drop.

**boisvertjean** · 12-11-2007, 04:48 PM

Im ordering the kit today i have also ordered a Roush kit stage 2 suspension kit 2000-2003 to fit to my ST 2007 can't wait to receve them

**carlfreddy** · 12-11-2007, 05:33 PM

Could you guys post a picture of the actual product.

I'm not going to reverse engineer it or anything, I just want to see what it is.

At this point the aftermarket is catching up to the suspension change, and I've got multiple options (that not as much as if I could run the 00-05 suspension).

Thanks

**EuroAyres** · 12-12-2007, 12:25 AM

Im assuming that thats all it is is a sleeve so you can put it over the smaller diameter 00-05 shocks to fit them into the larger diameter 06+ knuckles correct?

**Lumadar** · 12-12-2007, 01:31 AM

I'm very interested in getting this, as well as another product I saw on your site, Saleen Racecraft/Eibach Complete Kit.

I was curious though if the sway bars would work on my 2006 ZX3 if I don't have factory sway bars?

**boisvertjean** · 12-12-2007, 04:24 AM

yes you have factory sway bar 20mm front and 20mm at the rear i think the massive kit is a real kick-ass parts for 2006-2007 focus can't wait to receve and install my kit on my focus with my 17" 2004 SVT wheels hummmmmmmmmmmm

That is not necessarily true.

If he has a ZX3 S or SE he has an 18mm front bar and no rear bar.

If he has a ZX3 SES then he'll have the 20mm front and rear bar.

**boisvertjean** · 12-12-2007, 08:48 PM

oh yes! Sorry forget this one. Sway bar make BIG difference

**blacksheepZX3** · 01-05-2008, 08:45 PM

I thought Ford changed the geometry of the struts as well?

I want to be able to use the coilover kits available in the market such as KW, Koni, H&R cup etc...

Any advise appreciated. Thanks!
