But that ran on 50mm springs, then coilovers on the same height setting. Here's mine, but stick to your own preferences.











i like that and running nitrouse, very cool and good power from the 1.4 there too.

if the OP wants to keep the shell if its a good one the brakes and suspension and body etc can be modded and even the 1.4 can be for bolt ons and then drop a 1.6 in at a later date and transfer the mods over. like if you wanted a turbod 1.6 you could turbo the 1.4 and keep the engine standard bar maybe cams and run only a few psi boost and build up a 1.6 to slot straight in.

one of my fellow club members on fordtorque is doing a turbo's 1.6 focus at the mo so it makes sense.
