Lowering Springs Hard to find?
 

Im struggling to find a set of lowering springs for my MK1 Focus Estate, Its on Mondeo ST24 Alloys but it sits just a bit too high for my liking, though it seems to handle brilliantly!

I dont want it slammed on its arse I just want it to look that bit more 'standard' probably lowing 40mm or 60 at a push as I dont want to ruin the ride.

Are the suspension systems differnt at the back on an estate than a hatchback?

The absaloute LAST resort is cutting them, some can be done this way but I'd rather not for obvious reasons.

Tar!

PM slammedorion mate as he has lowered his, also check out the Focus Estate Thread in the pics section :king:

Look up st170 estate, as the springs off one of them may suit you ,I would think they would be lower than standard

just looked .lots of new lowered spring kits on ebay for focus estate on ebay

Tried Ford? They should be able to supply Eibach Pro-Kit springs.
It's what I fitted to my Mondeo. They're progressive so don't ruin day to day comfort.

I bought a set of 40mm drop springs off ebay, i think they were Apex not sure, they sit nice and are not too soft or too hard. I did have coil overs on it with a 100mm drop, with 16inch stanadrd wheels the top of the alloys was level with the top of the arch! lol

Then the mrs said sort "sort ya sh"t out" then i went for 60mm springs which have been approved by the mrs lol

the only diffrence on the estate is the rear shocks, they are mounted at approx 40ish degree angle to the rear subframe/ axle and are alot shorter and stiffer due to the higher load over the back wheels.

below is how it sits now, probley do with a 45 profile tyre rather than a 40.

below is about 70mm drop on coilover, i managed to drop it to 100mm and then it was way too uncomfortable lol
