got no idea about the springs it come like that from the dealer as they had it in there showroom with 19's on it (it would have looked like a boat with standard springs). mind you its a touch low as the front lip is now cactus.
I think one thing that need to be appreciated about the focus is the boot is HUGE. Its bigger then my fairmont ghia which is a joke!

Im seriously considering getting mine lowered. I had a BA XR8 which was lowered & didnt have too many dramas with it.
What did you do with the 19's?
Yeah when I took the demo for a test drive, I noticed how big the boot. Quite big for a hatch. Then when you fold the seats down, its even bigger!!!
Will make the golf clubs fit quite nicely! lol

The dealer still has the 19's and he can keep them the ugliest wheels i have ever seen!

As for the leather i have the details written at home somewhere its black leather with perferated inner (little holes in it) and silver stiching. Zetec is stiched in the front seats aswell.

How much did the leather cost to get done? also will it effect the side airbags??

not sure about cost as i requested price for car with everything, didnt want one without leather and sunroof (however i think it said $2500 on the invoice). No doesnt affected side airbags i suppose not much differnence between the leather or fabric (either way i hope i never find out).
Nice wheels by the way zetec20.

Personally i go with cream leather especially on the dark colours but its hard to keep clean. Black looks good and wont offend anybody.
