Focus ST has New Shoes

[Ryan96se]

No Plans to Lower it yet. I still have both my Probes but this will now become my daily.

Sharp color. Looks good.

Looking good! Recaro package?

[Dan [Sac]]

I approve of this union.

[Ryan96se]

Looking good! Recaro package?

Yes sir. ST3. Includes all options including Recaro

Thanks Dan. Followed your RWD through its build

Good deal with ST3! We have a few on our lot at the dealer I work at without Recaro seats. I wouldn't even consider buying an ST without those seats. lol

Nice. About the only thing that would make me sell my Speed 3 is the RS with AWD as long as it hits our shores. That or the new Speed 3, also with AWD.

[Dan97PGT]

My friend has one of those. I wouldn't mind owning one, maybe in the future...

[B-Ball]

a beautiful consummation.

There is talk the RS is a for sure thing in 2016 in the US however I'm not sure about AWD. It needs it for the HP they're claiming.

I may consider trading for the RS if its AWD but if its not I'll stay with the ST. When you start getting close to 300hp to the front wheels its just sketchy. This thing is fun at 252hp but now with the FFRP tune the torque is just insane. Jumps from 270 to 360. You can't really launch and you have to wait until 3rd and 4th before you can go WOT (unless you just want to spin) and even then a dip in the Road is enough to send the tires south for a moment which is not so bad until they grab again (and usually not at the same time) jerking the steering wheel sharply.

Are those the Niche Targa's? I was looking at the exact same wheel for my CX9. I can get the full set of 20's for less then a Grand shipped!

Yes. Niche Targa M129 Anthracite Color. Under a Grand for 20's is a great deal. I would jump on that.

Najir at Ford did state that Focus RS would get an AWD specifically developed for the RS(not recycled from Escape). I do like the wheels on your ST! Perhaps your new wheels will fit the RS, unless production RS wheels are more appealing to your taste.

Nice, I have an 2014 ST3 for Daily since June 2014, Tuxedo Black Paint, Stage 3, Custom Tune.



The Recaros do get uncomfortable for long drives and I'm 5'7 180-185lbs.

Anyone over 6ft-6'3" I think won't really like head room .

I have some Green and Yellow Team Dynamic Prorace 1.2 for my car 18x9.

I would recommend at least a Air Filter Upgrade + Optional Rocket Science Air Snorkel and Depo or Steeda Intercooler and a Rear Motor mount upgrade plus an oil catch can. Most budget friendly mods. Then a Cobb AP V3 and a custom tune. That's all you need to get the most out of the car.

The car's brake will smoke on the track as they'll get hot and burn up the piston seals/cover. I think mine are all messed up already. And the Oil temp will max out also.

If this is your daily you don't really need an RS! I will not be getting an RS I've got better places to put my money now a Mortgage fml.

I'm not a big fan of the RS Styling. Most of the focus community was expecting more of a Fifteen52 Trackster look!

I'll hope for a totaled RS and save for a drivetrain swap axles and all parts needed to awd an ST for fun.


Still love my Probe and when it's back time to park the Focus
