At least you get all 380bhp to the rear wheels, don't have to distribute that power to all 4 wheels. You'll regret it mate, they're fun in RWD

Mine will be subjected to the same power increase soon, so you can have a go

Nothing really, its just a means of running Cossie fitted suspension. But there are a couple of Focus Cossies that run on the standard strut top, but still slightly modified to accept eccentric mounts etc.
