If you order RS pack springs from Ford you actually get Eibachs, going back a few years the Ford upgrade springs were blue and carried both the RS and Eibach logos, if you fit those to a new Ford it does not invalidate the warranty.........speel over. Eibachs are some of the best springs made a big proportion of competition coilovers use them, their road springs give a stiffer, lower but still not bone jarring, filling removing ride quality. Well worth a pop.

They were a fucker 
Rears were a doddle, undo lower arm and shocker then the spring just falls out, but the fronts were a pain. Not difficult, just took a long time. You can't unbolt the shock top mount bolts without taking the scuttle panel off, which also means removing the wiper arms and the symposer pipework, and about 50 (i'm not joking) clips that go with it! Then it was a bugger to get the shock back into the hub, had to prise it apart carefully with the use of a few modified tools, then press in with a trolley jack.
As I said not difficult just took ages, give yourself a full day to do it if working on your own!

Might be a good idea if you have a short temper!
I remember as well when I did it, the shock top mount was tight coming off and it decided to come off in bits launching a few dozen little ball bearings everywhere! Took about an hour to find them all lol

I have Eibach springs on my ST aswell. Have had them on my 2 Focus's before this aswell. Ford supplied parts & approved parts so wont mess up the warrenty. As for fitting, ive no idea, I had my work do them. 3.5hrs in total I think it was in the end.
Recomended by me.
Here's mine with them fitted.
Would like the rear a little lower but that can be sorted by carrying the full size spare wheel rather than the can of foam.
