Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the maximum permissible front axle load for the 5 door hatchback? I know this info is usually on the VIN plate but my all the weight / load fields are blank on mine. Thanks. |

Actually, with a bit more research, I think I have answered my own question:
Eibach rates it at 1070 kg; KW rates it at 1050 kg. |

Yep, planning on doing a Supercharged 5.0L Coyote engine swap.
Actually, was just planning on upgrading the suspension soon, looking into coilovers vs springs & shocks. I think the front shocks are starting to struggle a bit. I've come across several kits for the Focus that have different model numbers, depending on the front axle load. I suppose this is more for the european customers, who have the option of the 1.6L & 1.8L engines which would weight less than our 2.0L engine. |
