Reprogramming stock ECU sly.gifsly.gifsly.gif but I guess Ford may have under declare the BHP & Torque for the 1.6L Zetec engine cause the Dyno shows that the stock figure is higher than the Focus's catalog sly.gifsly.gifsly.gif

there are 2 options, coil-overs or springs & shocks combo nod.gifnod.gifnod.gif

 

I've not try coil-over on my ex-ride (Civic - ES8) before but have done springs & shocks combo, namely Eibach Pro-Kit Springs & Koni Yellow Shocks & it provides me the road holding that I was looking for.thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif

 

You can check with Hitman cause he was also looking into lowering his 323 nod.gifnod.gifnod.gif

do u tink i can use back the present one to do the lowering?

 

if you used Eibach Pro-Kit, which only lowered by about 20mm to 25mm, yes you still can used back the stock shocks.

 

but if you go for Eibach Sportline which lowered upto 50mm sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif then you can't use back the stock shocks shakehead.gifshakehead.gifshakehead.gif

Vtim, have called KM in regards to the lowering options and they claimed that they will void the warranty on that particular part, ie the suspension system if I changed it.

 

Do u guys think lowering is ok? Even though it voids the suspension warranty? Thinkning of lowering the ride, but not compromising alot on the comfort. Money spent on kit will cost a bomb, and better use the money to do something else more worthwhile... [gossip]

Yes, most dealers will void only on the suspension system nod.gifnod.gifnod.gif

There isn't much to claim for suspension system, the main items are the stock shocks sly.gifsly.gifsly.gif Using a progressive springs will be able to retain some comfort nod.gifnod.gifnod.gif

Meaning? Change or dun change? dizzy.gif

 

change means that you can't claim warranty on stock shocks & springs wink.gifwink.gifwink.gif

 

 

 

And do u mean by just changing the springs will do, no need for the whole suspension(absorber)??

 

yes, Eibach Pro-kit will work with stock shocks & only lowered about 20mm, still go enough to clear humps on road & MSCP. If lowered around 35mm to 50mm, then will have problem sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

Will this Eibach Pro-kit compromise on the comfort?? Meaning will it be very stiff? And most importantly, Ex?? [sly]

the Eibach Pro-Kit will be more comfortable than coil-over & only slightly stiffer than stock, IMHO. It should be around $400 w/o installation sly.gifsly.gifsly.gif
