Been doing a bit of reading on this forum recently and have noticed a bit of talk about aftermarket bits and pieces to make the focus a bit sharper to drive.
I'm currently looking at Eibach pro kit springs and a whiteline rear sway bar, both mods seeming quite popular around here. Has anyone gone for anything else from whiteline such as the front sway bar or bump steer correction kit? Any feedback on your handling mods would be much appreciated. |

I too was looking at a few extra bits from whiteline, looks like it could be a bit of fun, I'm waiting on the eibach prokit from europarts still, the dedlivery time is huge been at least 3 weeks so far so if you're going to get them, get them asap

I just put some RDA slotted rotors & TRW pads on the front of mine.
Made a huge difference for around the $300 mark. Also easy to do yourself. |

I have a 24mm sway bar on the rear, really makes a difference when you push it. An absolute positive reccomendation.
If you're taking the handling seriously, then i reccomend some of these. http://www.european-parts.net/catalo...oducts_id=1174 Their proven to work wonderfully with the eibachs, in fact i'm getting both of those upgrades when the bank allows it. The B6's are a bit more comfortable than the sportier B8's. I care less for comfort so i'd get the B8's. Do not however run the eibachs on stock dampers, as i've heard from others' experience that the dampers will break very quickly as they're not designed to work at the lowered ride height. Get the bilstein dampers and eibach springs at the same time, and you'll have a wonderfully sharp handling thing.
