This is what's stamped on my springs but you can get anything you want when you place your order at the factory.

**whiteboyslo** · 07-09-2003, 12:03 PM

what about vogtland audio (or any vogtland for that matter)?

**Matt Wells** · 07-16-2003, 12:26 PM

Could you also list amount of drop? I live in WV and run 215/45/17's. I would like a little more spring rate for little money. Suspension Techniques? Steeda (like the rates)? My Focus is my budget-built car...

 Feel free to add as needed.

For the record, the North American rates are 110 lb/in (19.3 N/mm) front, not 117 lb/in (20.5 N/mm)

European Focus Trend
F: 117 lb/in (20.5 N/mm)
R: 146 lb/in (25.5 N/mm)

**CosworthSVT** · 07-30-2003, 12:30 AM

Does anyone know the spring rates for the H&R sport springs or the FK 35/40 springs?

**Auto-X-ZTS** · 08-02-2003, 09:38 PM

**SoundoffFocus** · 08-03-2003, 05:22 PM

**Nliiitend1** · 08-15-2003, 01:00 PM

I believe that the stock S2 spring rates are:

Front: 97 lb/in
Rear: 117 lb/in

Correct me if I'm wrong.

**CTB** · 08-16-2003, 08:25 PM

I have 97 and 114, but basically the same as you had.

**MichaelXi** · 08-19-2003, 05:15 AM

Yup,
S2 = 97/114-117.
They are considerably softer than Std ZX-3, but the Dampers are Rather Firm by Comparison.

Quote from Spike in another Thread regarding the Apex rates....
"P-51 did a few calculations and came up with 150F/200R, give or take a little."

**LOFOCI WAGON** · 08-28-2003, 01:01 PM
