Still prefer the WQ 3 door over all the other series of Fiesta's. Here is mine lowered with Eibach and Bilstein.

I think I read right, 205/45/16? Why no 195/45/16

Also, what is that tubing on the rear springs?

Looks sweet as. Fogs next!

Bilsteins were approx $1,000 installed. Plastic sleeve on the springs is to reduce the noise when the springs compress and make contact. The Conti's in 195/45/16 were over $200 each. I got a deal on these Bridgestone Potenza Adrennalin made in Japan at $180 each in 205/45/16. The size difference makes litte difference to your speedo (approx 1.5km/hr).

That's a bargain on the Bridgestones. My Toyo's cost $225ea & Contis would have been $280! & 195's in any brand were always more than a 205, can't lose really.

+2 for the WQ
