My boy Spatakula was tucking the **** out of some 16" stockers last fall/winter :lol::lol:

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.

Haha I did think about/consider that. Thnx for the kind words!

 

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.

 

i used the h&r cup kit sports on my roush and its pretty low it will only rub when i hit a big bump...its low enough that i cant fit my hand between the fender and the top of my tire

 

I'm tucked out back

 

i was tucking my ST200 with 205/45/17 adn tehn with 40 series you couldn't see the sidewall on the tires, but then raised the car beacuse i had trouble turning the wheel all the way... but m actually tucking 205/55/16 right now until i get my bbs back on again.

 

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...

And then you've got this...

 

This is what I call 'tuck'.

dude thats so sick. any more info?

 

 

Yeah. Its a VW. All the explanation you need...LMAO


But the front turrets were cut out, and rewelded inorder to achieve the look, and then the inner fender wells were cut out so you can clear the metal to turn...

 

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.

 

yellow zx3 is on air

 

ya he was trying to sell it on ff a while ago

That is Tobyboom's car. He is on FC Coilovers IIRC.

 

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.

 

Those are low, but honestly in the stance of 'tuck', the letters on the tires should be hidden by the arches. The tire tucks into the fender.

 

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..

205 40 17 with custom wound rear springs for the H&R coilovers..

 

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?

somewhat tucked up front, I don't run it like this anymore though as it rubbed with 215/40/17s...

 

I know the F2 car was tucked

 

Nice.

ask and you will receive.

i have something sick instore for my car here soon...since i have soo many pics of ivans car stashed away

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...

 

YOU have my RIMS =) 5zigen fn0r1's :rock: 215-45-17

 

I would'nt consider that 'tucked'. Yes, its lowered. But tucked its not...Good looking stance either way tho...

 

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....
