Well, i'm quite unhappy that you didn't like your setup, because a little bit of Euro rake is exactly what works for your car.
If you cut a coil out of the rear helper springs, it should put you where you want to be.
With that said;
The car looked absolutely perfect as it was, just add some camber adjustment and some rolled fenders and it would have been perfect.
sigh.

I tuck on 17's, the lip of the 17's is actually at the finder lip with no rubbing issues. It has been like that since 2001.
just remove the helper spring completely from the coils and you can take out the rear perch as well to get a little lower
or you can call up Koni and get some custom shortened shocks for the rear

This is what I call 'tuck'.

But I've honestly not seen too many Focus' with a tucked stance. Its fairly rare. But....heres acouple anyway...
When Davor owned my wagon, he was tucking the rear tires on his setup...

Then this was on FJ here, I believe it was on bags...could still be around...

o2 those are some pretty good examples. Here's one I found from an old thread on here. No clue what setup this is though.

This is how low my car could go with GC Coils.

Like you, even with higher (45mm) offset wheels, it rubbed like crazy. This was with no negative camber dialed in though, some LCR plates would've helped immensely.

The pic above is a 4" drop approx. It's just not that easy to tuck tire on a Focus. Not many suspensions will go lower than that, and you'll almost have to have 17" or bigger rims.
i have mine raised because of the Washington roads...but i can tuck 17's with my KW v2's easy...lol
blurry pic sry.
but this is as low as the "stock" KW v2 rear springs will let you go with a 215 45 17

and then heres the fronts when i was messing around...:lol:

and then heres low....
focussportrep4's old car..

Nice.
I need to throw my stock 17s back on and see where I'm sitting with an OE diameter tire -.-
Wasn't one of those cars on Brocks once?

oh heres a better pic i found...
215 45 17 all the way down in the rears on the "stock" off the shelf wound coils in the rears...
as you can see on my sidewalls...when im bombing corners they rub...horribly....half way down to the rims...
not saying it is. its not tucked at all...just saying its hard to make a focus tuck...to go tucked it takes a hell of a drop....
