Yet another topic on lowering, but it's kinda specific, can't really find an answer...
I'm debating between coilovers and springs for the Zetec; I'm 19 with a part-time job, so cost is a big consideration. If I could get away with springs and still get the look I'm after, that'd be great. I want it to look pretty slammed, either on 17's or 18's. Actually saw a Zetec yesterday on 17's and springs and it looked pretty low, almost what I'm after.
My questions are; could I get away with springs, and if so which ones, since it'd be a fairly big drop, and also - can I fit the springs before the alloys? Or do I have to fit the alloys first and then drop her?
Cheers for any help folks.
andy.

Was thinking that 17's would be less expensive when it came to getting new tyres, too! I'll take a look at the ST suspension, see what it's all about  Think my problem is I never think of the practicalities - mind you, I'm 19 so I shouldn't have to  My mate offered me coilovers for a really good price, that's what's swaying me in that direction. Probably work out cheaper than ST suspension from Ford :o andy.

scott that not ture about fitting them your self,and keeping the warranty, but it is ture that if you buy ford parts keep the receipt and get another garage to fit them but they have to be aproved by ford then you do keep your warranty

and fit them urself (or tell them you did) then your warranty is fine as its ford parts, keep the receipt!!! It would not affect anything and would save a massive hole that would otherwise be burnt through your pockets!!!
Would be a good subject to actually check up on and see what the warranty terms and conditions say.
