I guarantee the parts are going to be here, eventually.

Here is some proof that the aftermarket is slowly catching up.

**Nliiitend1** · 11-24-2006, 02:48 AM

Oh I was not meaning to insinuate that they would never come to market.

I was just saying that until they at least give you a rough date of production, it is useless to plan around what they say.

I cannot count how many times someone has posted something like that (correspondence from a company) about products that A) never end up making it to market, or B) end up taking years to show up.

That is all.

A little birdy told me that FocusSport's '07 ST is dropped on H&R parts.

**OneAMCoffee** · 11-24-2006, 12:59 PM

I will like little birdy's very very much if that is true and they come out with some H&R parts by January

I didn't even know FocusSport had an '07 ST? I know they had the H&R Car to turbo it but did they get their own '07 ST?

tonkio (i cant spell) blue dampers, eibach springs, steeda springs, and a few other springs as well.

So lemme get this straight....

Let's say I'm about to buy an 07 ZX3. In order to put the H&R PCS Coilovers on it, all I would need to do is replace the new knuckles with the older style knuckles?

Thats all?
(Please correct me if I am wrong).

I THINK that in the exact case you describe, one would also have to include a pair of pre-05 lower control arms with the particular size ball joint taper that fits those older style knuckles...

(I haven't checked this thread lately and the first post dates from 9 months ago...)

I believe you are correct, sir

**Z63R** · 01-16-2007, 11:14 PM

Oh, gawd; not AGAIN...

I'm KIDDING.

It was a lucky result of the guesstimatory procedure from what synapses still fire... :-)~

**ScreamingYellowZX3** · 03-10-2007, 05:44 PM

do the 06 and up springs taper on the top and bottom or just one or the other?? and is there any way to tell exactaly which springs I have without taking the sturt all apart??

**whyme** · 03-10-2007, 08:10 PM

at the bottom only and all you need to do is look at the strut, if the spring seats around the outer rim of the strut they are the older style if the strut perch extends out away form the spring (mabe and inch) then they are the new style

**ScreamingYellowZX3** · 03-10-2007, 09:52 PM

Thanks, I think I have the new style.

**whyme** · 03-10-2007, 11:18 PM

eh, i aint soo bad. H&R should have their offerings out soon and for the daily driver the FRPP's arnt bad at all.

**ScreamingYellowZX3** · 03-31-2007, 10:34 AM

I ended up going with a set of FRPP springs and dampers from Steve. I like them so far, but I've only had them on for 3 days. I'm going to do a write up with pics but I have to wait to get back home to load the photos.

contact Steve (Fordsvtparts), he is a member here and can get you the ford racing suspension kit for around 350. other than that there is really no other offerings that i am aware of as of about a month ago.

if you do a search for this kit there are quite a few people with it and seems all are happy including myself and a few ST owners as well.

**2006TZX4** · 04-30-2007, 07:13 PM

i have H-R spring on my for about year in half don't know why veryone said that the springs don't fit but that DO.my car is 2006 ses zx4 focus

**whyme** · 05-02-2007, 09:22 AM

some early 06 cars had the older suspension setup, ur lucky. the newer style has a taper at the bottom of the spring and the older spring has noware to seat on the new perch.

**super6** · 05-12-2007, 04:36 AM

Here's how I've addressed my 2007 ZX3....got the SVT brake kit, the tubular lower control arms from St
