Rear spoiler is a little OTT... I prefer more of a 'sleeper' look.

Agreed on the headlights - far too UK chav.

Bodykits = not worth it. You'd better off getting a set of Eibachs for less than $500 installed. They'd serve more purpose than bodykits.

A bit off topic but with the XR4, will there be parts available at the dealers? Or would they need to order them in?

Hey mate, imo there's no difference at all compared to the day they were installed. You can search for the "My Fiesta came to a new low" thread I started for a short review.
Basically, it sharpens the steering response & reduces body-roll quite a bit.

The thing isnt getting any lower (still about 8-fingers clearence between the lowest point of the car and the ground).... about 2-fingers clearence between the tyres and the guards.

I didnt notice much difference in the ride quality compared to stock springs.....until there are 4 other in the car. Some bumps really make me cringe. :/

LOL! I seldom have more than me and my gear in the car so its ok for me... might look at installing springs after mid year, but to really set the springs off I would have to put on at least 16" wheels right... see how we go.

sorry to hijack the thread...
