Focus Sport Front Stress Bar

rbrommel · Fri Aug 15, 2008 11:53 am

I just installed a Focus Sport front stress bar and just wanted you all to know how much of a difference it makes, especially for only $101 to my door. The whole front end is so much tighter and more in line performancewise with my rear. I would highly recommend this mod. And as a testament of how easy it was to install, I DID IT. Oh and i also threw on blacked out tails that are sweet as hell. I will try to post pics when i can take them.

and think the focus is 60% stiffer than a rally preped escorte!!!! now imagine a x-brace and how stiff that would be.

To SVT owners, remember it won't fit if your running a stock Cat...

how would a cat interfere with a strut brace?

It's not a strut bar, its a stress bar.

They are installed under your car....
