The updates - after a weekend of working on it with the help of otter its 95% ready for some AX testing. Rotors are still en-route. But all other areas have been addressed. Washed, waxed, realigned, new pads, lines, fluid, etc.

Even without adjustable camber or caster this car does have a healthy amount. I was at -1.7 up front and -1.5 in the rear with zero toe in the front and a combined .1 toe-in for the rear.

Painted the calipers black to clean them up some. Works like a charm.











And still representing you guys:

You should get the HID headlights. I remembered seeing a focus way back that had HID's and thought it was a custom job, but then I found out later they were a factory option.

Yep, 03 and 04 had them. $600 for factories. I'm still searching for replacement ones. Or I might just get the ST170 versions above.
