2002 Ford Focus ZX3 FWD Manual 113K mi
I purchased the SVT suspension kit, struts, shocks and springs. supposed to lower the vehicle a half inch or so, (lowering not the goal, just firmer ride,) are there any adjustments necessary?

First, we only recommend direct fit parts. As far as your question, the vehicle will need an alignment and make sure nothing is going to hit the road after it is lowered.

roger the direct fit parts. was assured up and down about the upgrades on the SVT and the interchangeability of suspension parts, but you know they need to sell parts, so i thought i'd check around. in classic driveway DIY fashion, i took care of it today. safely, mind you, and methodically. rides great, although not much different from original. heading in for alignment 2mro. thank you.
