No way..
Coils - £700
LSD - £1200
Re-Map - £500
Cupra brakes with decent pads - £700

Tis true it could probably be done cheaper, but its nice to know the kit on the RS Focus has been extensively tested and is under warranty and issues such as clutch slip etc. shouldn't occur.

I wouldn't bet my life on it. That's what they all thought about the Nissan GT-R and it's launch control. Now they have a few lawsuits pending!! :surprised:
WhiteGTI:
Congrats on your purchase! Great choice, I really rate the new RS. I think it will be a cracking little car!!!
Lovely noise too, that turbo chatter is :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: ........How can I get it on mine!!?

Hence I used "shouldn't and not won't ..... :signLOL:
jonnyc:
I think it should be fine, the reason the GTR is under so much stress is because of the 4WD and the launch control that builds boost for the launch, they have been stripping the teeth off first gear..
I inquired about an RS yesterday but they said it would be September.. I can't wait for anything so im going to see what happens when they come out, either way its going to be a very capable car from standard!
182_blue:
Good luck mate, I did consider one after the ST but my ST's hideous mpg put me off, that and the fact mine was about the same power as the RS, oh but my brakes were better :signLOL:
