So after a long wait and much anticipation I was able to hook up with BSH Speed Shop and Ksport here in Tempe and was able to work out a deal with some coilovers. They were purchased from BSH and installed by Ksport so they could verify fitment and get the coils listed under the 2012 Focus. I believe it was SPRAYPAINT that had them on his car first but Ksport wanted verification for themselves.

They were finally installed friday and I made a few adjustments today and I have to say I love them and the new look of the HB. My wife has even stated "wow hunny, that looks freaking awesome!".

The one issue that was noted was the camber in the rear is pretty noticeably off. I am working on a remedy for that and will hopefully have that remedy available for others as well since this will be a universal fix.

Looks great, now it just needs to be a bit lower all around and you'll be set! :thumbup:

The front could go lower but it is actually an inch or so lower than the rear already. I would go lower but my wife drives it to and I would prefer to not lose my front bumper on a curb :) There is definitely more threads to drop it down on the ground. The adjustability of the Kontrol Pro Dampners are crazy awesome. The dampening is a 36 click adjustability range. I have the rear at like 6 and the front at 21. I would recommend 10 rear and 25 front for a comfy stable ride. The more I drove it the more I love them. When I look at it I get a big smile every time. Now I need to save up for some wheels.

Looks awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what did the Ksports run you? That rear camber looks pretty nice though, even if it's a bit off. Nothing I imagine some bolts and new arms can fix, though I think the stock ones have about +/- 1 degree of adjustment.

Anyhow, both their Kontrol Pro and Spec AR systems look attractive.

I had a pretty good hookup on them. They asked me not to disclose what I paid. My good friend owns BSH and hooked it up.
They didn't have the bolts or arms when I had the alignment done. That will be added soon though. The camber is a bit more the 1 off. It's like 1.6 or something.

I may have to inquire with BSH on Focus-application kits, as their name keeps cropping up on threads about KSport, and they definitely seem to know what they're talking about. Can't expect the same deal, obviously, but judging by their pricing on the VW-application stuff, probably still a good buy regardless. :)
