I miss running a slow car fast vs. the mustang(American Iron).

Oh, okay... Yes you can.

Just reread the rules, I thought you could NOT retrofit a RSB to a Focus apparently you can!

They provide a advantage as in, having one versus NOT having one, but I guess it depends on how you interpret.

And based on your last comment then yes I can do it!

Yes I do have a 25mm RSB, but I'm currently awaing some steel plates to thicken up the rear lower control arms so as not to cause catastrophic shear/plastic deformation within the arm structure. Anyways good luck

Alternate (non-Ford) sway bar brackets are permitted provided that they provide no advantage other than increased durability. Motorsport subframe M-5035-ZX3 with adjustable camber and stabar brackets is allowed.
