I am working on my suspension now. (Please help me decide on suspension parts.) - Focaljet

**sayin0487** · 10-09-2008, 11:55 AM

I already have the eibach pro-kit springs, and I am getting the eibach sawy bar kit soon. After that I am doing the dampers. I cant decide if I should go with the tokico's or the ford racing kit. Opinions?

If you get the Ford Racing shocks, you would want to pair them with the Multimatic Spring kit for best results.

I would wait it out a bit longer until better options arise. But Tokico aren't crap either.

Get the Eibach dampers that Match the Springs, and Do it NOW. Save the Sway bars until AFTER you get on the proper dampers.

**sayin0487** · 10-09-2008, 04:11 PM

the problem is there arent any eibach dampers out yet for the 06-07. only the springs...

You could buy the Massive kit and then use the Eibach dampers. Otherwise I would go with the Tokico. I have the Ford Racing ones and they are a little soft. Not to mention they have the same part number as the ST's which you already have.

**sayin0487** · 10-09-2008, 05:33 PM

i thought the ones that came with the ford racing kit were valved the same but were shorter for lowered cars

**hommie** · 10-10-2008, 01:14 PM

not really sure. I was just told they have the same part numbers.

i'll get adjustable coil-overs if i were you. I'm not sure with Tokico since im sure they don't make one for SVT... i heard good things about H&R and Eibach; Eibach is my personal favorite. Upgrade to thicker rear sway bar and bushings. add front and rear strut tower bar.. i guess you are all set.

He already has springs, and he DOESN'T have an SVT, and regardless, the SVT has the same suspension sizes as non-SVT's. He has a late-model Focus so all of the above is irrelevant.

The Focus doesn't have rear struts. Also, Why would he need a strut tower bar or shock tower brace?

**sayin0487** · 10-11-2008, 10:45 AM

well i think ive made up my mind about all this. eibach sways, and the tokico shocks and struts. thanks everyone for your input!

**hommie** · 10-11-2008, 12:45 PM

Once you get the Tokico's on let me know how they are. I am thinking of switching to those.
