Lowering the focus
mk2 facelift
Are the rears independant from the shock? i.e just a case of jacking the car and removing the spring?
Whats the best deal at the moment and where from?

Yes thats right. If your lucky the bolt will come out that attaches the lower arm to the hub then the spring will just drop out.
The fronts are a total bastard to do, real long winded job. Gotta take wiper arms off, scuttle panel off, takes ages!

Yes, because the plastic scuttle panel cover fits over the top of the shock top mounts, so it needs to come off and there's about 10 million clips holding it in. Got to take the wipers off to get the scuttle panel off too!
