Never heard anything good about Superlows, I would never put them on a Euro hatch, they only remind me of big heavy EF's and E series Falcons WAAAY too low. I don't have any experience with them however in any form so perhaps I can be proven wrong. They just don't seem to be a brand with any real handling cred, just "dumping cars" on their chassis.

Good to see more choice out there though!! I'd recommend people ensure they cross match on price and consider a good set of heavy duty shocks/dampers in combination with the new lowered, stiffer springs. Eibach also make springs for the LS Focus.

I think they're about $500 all up for 4 incl GST, and worth every cent. Reputation alone is worth paying more for.

Just wondering, if fitting lower springs will void your warranty?

If you mod anything and your car gets screwed because of it you've got a snow flakes chance in hell of ford touching it for warranty, look at it that way

Ford and ANY manufacturer can only void the part of the warranty that is directly affected by what you mod. So if you lower, they can't fail your brakes for example, only the shocks/suspension components and possibly the front diff due to changed geometry of the driveshafts.
