Thats right mate there supposed to but Ford are saying they class the RS Focus as a mk1 focus and the 1st 1's of them were produced in 1997/8 making it over 10 yrs old.

Lame excuse I know but its there way of covering themselves.

that is stupid. id of thought because the normal focus and the rs are almost a completly different car,, when it comes to the panels for the rs it should start the ten years from 2002/2003.

Would end up being better in the long run as with that sort of set up you would be fully rose jointed, might as well get coilovers on aswell.

Your right mate it woud make it loads better but the problem is that its a customers totaly standard RS Focus and ford cant supply the part any more !

If it were mine I'd sell it and get a cossie as at least you can get bits for em all day long!
Whats gona happen in a few more years every thing else for the RS focus will become un obtainable.

Forceing the car off the road for good!
