Where do I start, well the first mistake was going to the auto sport show the other weekend and returning with idea’s.
Currently I have a 3 door ST170 with the following;
Fully bushed up.
Adjustable camber on the rear.
Adjustable rear swaybar
Bilstine B12 sprint line kit
Gearbox bushed torque bar
Front adjustable camber and castor competition top mounts, (K mac)
And a 12lbs Helix autosport racing steel flywheel and 6 paddle ceramatalic clutch, deleted dual mass.
Now until I went to the autosport show I was going to get a set of competition AST 3ways,BUT after seeing the price of the Ohlins and running away i found a set of competition LEDA coilovers and thought they were great but BUT, before I order them tomorrow I keep having this idea of fiting the focus rs front drive shafts and front hubs and going for the wider track of the rs and stance. Or would I be just as good with the ST170 track and Leda’s and concentrating on a roll cage.??? Decisions can anyone help?

i dont thing the focus rs hubs will fit your st 170 as i was under the inpression they were a "one off" to the st170?

RS hubs have a different diameter aperture for the damper to go in (thicker dampers on RS), the bolt pattern for the brake caliper only fits the RS Brembos, which require different brake lines, the bearing is specific to the RS to accomodate the larger flange, that only accepts RS CV joints. In essence, a ball ache for very little gain over the 300mm ST170 brakes which are more than enough to lock the wheels if you disconnect the ABS. Probably a good bit lighter too.
