Hey guys it has been a while since I checked in on AFF, so I'll have to update you all on my car soon. Once I have finished my current work on it and given it a detail I'll list the new additions and post some pix.
In the meantime however, I'm looking for some purchase advice. The rear shocks have gotten too soft for my liking and as such, I'm looking to replace them. Just wondering on what products and brands people recommend that I look at. Bear in mind that my suspension has been extensively lowered and stiffened. AS per my signature, it is a Mk2 (LS) 06 Focus Zetec.

It has been a while, for sure. How about Bilstein's.

It has been a while indeed! Good to hear from you.
Bilstein B8's or Koni Yellows, both shocks are designed for lowered springs. |
