Hopefully the suspension will settle after a few days, since driving it home it's dropped a bit from these pics.

Can't remember off the top of my head, been a while since I had a FWD Focus
But I think it was only 1 bolt because you can prise the arm down enough to have someone else to pop the spring in.

Old spring can be a nightmare to get out. The way I do them is unbolt the shocker and the anti roll bar, put spring clamps inside the spring up through the hole in the bottom arm. You need to do this as there is no room on put them on the outside. Get someone to force the arm down as far as possible (standing on top of the drum works well) then lever the spring out. Don't undo any other bolts as chances are they will be siezed and will snap.

Got my rear lights on my st170 tinted like that
don't think that looks 50mm but when I lowered my st 30mm it looked exactly the same for a few days then settled and sat nice. Looks well love the colour

really needs to be dropped on coilovers to pull the euro look off , other thn that it looks in great health for a 9 year old motor and the wheels are sexual !
