My Maliblue ZX3 needed some more low and wheels.

(OLD) H&R Sport Cup Kit, and stock 16" fat sixes.






(NEW) Raceland Coils, Konig supermesh 16x7 40ET. Nothing special but they look better then stocks!:thumbup:

Thanks :thumbup:. Yeah I know lol, I'm tempted! I'm not sure how I would though, the front are at the lowest setting and the rear don't have the adjusters in them because they're not compatiable with DOMS rear LCA's. I know I can take out the front helper springs like Armanda, but I'm stuck on the rear (there are no dead coils lol)

You can't turn Dom's rear seats down anymore? I can't believe that is as low as they got you. Its lower, but now as low as I would have hoped.

Thats about right... Your running a 40 series so you will have wheel gap. Im running a 50 series I have about a 1/8" of gap before I cut a coil from the rear.

Looks good though man!!!!

YEAH, wheels & coils are my favorite mod so far, and by far the best money spent on my focus so far. And as for the trade, I'll take that into serious consideration! I have always loved modernlines, and I take that as a complement too lol :thumbup:

looks awesome =) the wheels look sexy on the car xp
Awesome looking car

mustang mclaren rims recently. i gotta get them refinished but there gonna look sweet on my focus....15x6inches....
I love that old school mesh look on wheels, my next set might be BBS RS wheels, maybe a 8" wide wheel. Gold wheels and black car, to me, is one of the best combinations. It will look good :thumbup:

Sweet ride mane. I like the way your rims match your the car. So you cant go lower in the rear? How does it ride?
No, I don't think I will be able to go any lower unless I cut the springs but we'll see. I'll have to look into it some more before I start hacking.
As far as the ride, it's really stiff (I like it :D) It's not bouncy at all either. But if you don't like a rough ride I wouldn't not recommend these.


that looks real nice!
Thank you :)

Thats about right... Your running a 40 series so you will have wheel gap. Im running a 50 series I have about a 1/8" of gap before I cut a coil from the rear.

Looks good though man!!!!
When I had the H&R kit on with the 40 series tire, the gap was HUGE. I could fist the rear LOL, and had a 3 finger gap up front. So the Racelands helped a lot!

Thanks!! :thumbup:

What a difference a set of wheels makes. Good choice.

Yeah, it would look better if it went lower but I really think it looks good how it sits. Don't go doing some crazy ish just because some people told you to.
Thank you. I believe that a set of wheels, besides a complete respray, completely changes the look of a car.

I do agree that just a little bit lower will look better so I might go a little lower to fill the gap if I can figure out a way. It doesn't look slammed but my sway bar links are pretty near the ground and the tie rod angles are pretty crazy lol.

Great wheel choice!!

Looks fantastic!
Looks awesome. Love the rims

Thanks guys! And thanks again for the strut bearings Steve, even you helped a little lol. :thumbup:
