    Yeah soz!

    My fav are prob either MP3/ST170 alloys...been looking for a decent set but they are either too expensive or far away for collection!

    when i ordered my focus new i asked for the mp3 wheels on it instead of the edge ones but there was a £250 per wheel charge!
    nice but not worth an extra grand.

    They aint that much....some FFOC members been selling theirs for £350-£400 with tyres. The ST170 alloys go for around the same as well....

    this was 5 years ago when the car was new,as an added extra,it didnt mean i would get to keep the edge wheels aswell though,which didnt make any sense as i could buy the wheels from the parts dept at £250 a peice and just fit them myself and then sell my edge ones. but never bothered.

    Ah right see what you mean now.

    Reckon the best look is the ST170 alloys with Ford 30mm Eibach springs!!

    it about due a full exhaust system anyway,both front hanger and rear box is looking about done.
    im not too bothered with tthe springs,its hard enough to be honest,it came with a "sport suspension pack" dont think its the eibachs though.

    i dont know, i havent really researched it to be honest.
    i thought about a custom made stainless,but i would imagine there will be good enough aftermarket ones,dont want anything big or noisey.just something that looks tidy and maybe helps it out a little perfomance wise.
