See, you're headed in the direction I would like to go.  I have long wanted a garage full of good, quality, useful tools and just turn wrenches on cars as a side hobby or something like that.

I think if I had nothing else to do I would get ASE certified and do just that.  Who knows, it could yet happen.

Careful there.....

Talking to some mechanics and the last thing thay want to do is work on a car when they get home and vise vers. Others have said they like cars as a hobbie but wouldn't be able to do it full time. just a warning.

so you can replace a regualr focus suspension with a SVT suspension and get your car lowered that way?

yeah but not a tremendous drop between 1/2" to 3/4" total drop. Doesn't sound like much but makes a big difference in handling (not to mention the SVT parts are far superior to the stock parts)

it's cheaper to buy the whole set from an online person like http://www.myfordperformance.com you'll get the springs, shocks struts, and rear sway bar, complete suspension kit all for about $250~$275. An exceptional deal.
