just wanted to intruduce myself. my name is D.J. and i am in the pensacoal area. i am just looking for some others to hang out with and maybe help with mods to the cars when i install them. i have a itg intake on the way and will have new exahust after taxes are back an then future mods include lowering springs front and rear sway bars and other supension upgrades as well as any other little thing that may come along. maybe rims and tires if the wife will allow them one day here are a few pics right after i picked up the car (Samantha aka. sam

STILL LOVE THOSE WHEELS!!!!

I personally still think those cars look great in their own way, regardless of what everybody else thinks.

Glad to have you on board man.

Welcome! I too love those wheels and if you ever want to sell them, let me know

The 08-10 Focus has definitely grown on me, and they look awesome lowered. If you ever make the trek to Jacksonville, I'm sure there would be people willing to help you install stuff

Drop n Tint FTW!

Heyy

Welcome

yo.

i was thinking about painting the stock rims on my car black what does everyone think???

Bronze!!!!!

I vote "Massive Purple"

Blue and Purple?
Mighty ducks!

wow... really guys...well some one find me some black wheels that would look good and i will trade them or sell them my stock ones...

Really ... I think Bronze would look nice.

But if you want to do them black, I would do the inside of the split spokes a different color, like blue or something, to make them pop bit so the design doesn't get lost in the sea of black.

These look pretty baller IMO...but PM Steve (FORDSVTPARTS) on Focaljet as I'm positive he can get them for a better price. And if you buy them from CFM you'll have to pay sales tax since they're in Florida...but if they ship the wheels through UPS you'll have them the next day, guaranteed. So it's kinda a wash....

I'd offer to trade you my black Team Dynamics Pro Race 1s plus cash, but I'd miss them too much.

If you get aftermarket wheels, I'll buy you stockers (for a reasonable price)

i just don't want to pay a ton of bank for new rims and then if i go with a different size than stock i have to get new tires...oh well...

IMO there's no point in getting new rims if you don't get bigger/wider ones with better tires...

i would liek bigger and wider but to do that i have to get all new TPMS stuff and it would end up costing about $300 more than i want to pay

Band-style TPMS FTL.

FTL???

For the Loss

For The Lose

Fluffly Tiger Legs

purchased new exhaust today should be here mid next week...new pictures are coming soon

Sweet, what did you get? New or used?

new... i bought the the stealth kit from FS... i didnt want anything to loud cause i dont like to much interior noise since i have a baby that rides in the back set some times. I am still so pissed i saw another SVT today and didnt have the time to follow him to pimp is car.

Good choice. If I had the cash laying around, its what I would buy.

Can't wait to see it on the car man.

thanks i will try to do some video file links also so you guys can hear it. what do you guys recomend as far as lowering my car i dont have the cash laying around for coilovers so i was just going to go with springs but if i do that do i need to change shocks? as the title says i am still a newbie.

Let me just be the first to say:

Change your dampers too...
I didn't and I get picked on. But I ordered new one and they are going on in spring

Uhm, eibach? I dunno.

what are your plans for the car in the long run?

If you want a good all around setup that is going to drop the car a bit, but dont want your tailbone to snap in two, then the FRPP kits are GREAT. Between an inch and an inch and a half drop out of them for a great price new.

They are a great comprimise.

If you want something a bit more extreme, I would say take your pick of the "old" setups from the pre-06 cars and buy an Omni Kit from Massive like I have.

i dont see the FRPP kits in 2005+ i just want about a 1.5 drop nothing to serious just hate the huge gap between my tire and body

thanks amanda thats what i was looking at the other day i like the eibach springs...so i knwo i need the shocks but what the heck are dampers?

dampers are, well as i know, the whole shiskabob.. the struts and shocks..
Just one word for them both

so now that i found spring and shocks i just need the find struts and i will be all good

go with this... http://fswerks.com/springs.htm

As-is, no. But with this:

http://www.massivespeedsystem.com/_massive_speed_system_/massive_omnikit_suspension_adaptor/mamc10106/i-252473.aspx

Yep! The Massive Omni Kit is an adapter that goes in the knuckle and allows you to use 00-05 suspensions on your 06+ Focus

If I was you, I'd run the Omni Kit from Massive, a set of Koni Orange SRT-T shocks/struts, and either some Sportlines or H&R Race springs (Massive will knock 30 bucks off the price of the Omni Kit if you buy shocks/struts and/or springs at the same time)



Konis:
