[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16606986, member: 39344"] With all the miles on the car ive started to look into refreshing some things in the suspension - bushings, ball joints and dampers. Currently i am on Bilstein B8's and Swift Spec-R lowering springs which have suited me very well. I saw that Rock Auto had an insane price on the original B14 kit for the Fiesta on sale for $740. While it doenst have the newer B14 kit's ST specific front dampers, the spring rates and valving are the same with only the perch threading being lower for the ST variant. I requested the spring rates for both kits from Bilstein and found them to be the same progressive springs w/ the same rates(final rate of 280F/224R). This is 30% more spring rate up front and 6% more spring rate in the rear over the Swift Spec-R springs. I plan to pair these up with a set of DNA Racing camber plates, new front lower control arms(with poly bushings) and some custom made rear delrin torsion beam bushings. I also have a set of poly bushings for the front sway bar to add in the mix while everything is apart. This will be paired with the new 15x8 +35 Konig Dekagrams and some 225/45R15 Federal RS-RR tires. [/QUOTE]
