Most of the people that have the cup kit love it. I would say it all depends on what you like.

I am considering going with the cup kit on my Focus. Now that they make it for the 06+

Yes because sportlines are notorious for problems and subpar handling on the focus. Also a 2.5 inch drop seems too low to me about 2 inch is as low as I'd go because thats where the control arm is level.

The Cup kit is definitely lower, although it rode absolutely wonderful.
