FSWERKS Rear Stress Bar - Ford Focus 2000-2011

Amazing

Stared gutting the focus and added this before a roll cage amd it looks great. Very easy install if you have the tools

Down with the stiffness.

Done. Just like that. Thanks. Best bang for your buck upgrade. Easy instructions, easy install.

Excelent product ,exact fit and fast shipping thank you.

Good Difference

Gave a very noticeable difference in the handling (for the better). Next would be to add a rear H&R sway bar ('03 Focus SVT)

Rear stress bar

It really made the car feel different it’s so crazy how one thing changed the way the whole car feels, definitely recommend.

Great Product

Works as descripted.

beautiful part

I didn't buy one direct from FSwerks i bought one used off a friend when he parted out his SVT, from running no chassis bracing to running this rear bar was ridiculous it felt like a caged car on stock suspension when I track it. I run some pretty grippy tires and because of that I tend to lift my tires in the rear and I could feel the second one of my rear tires lifted and the second it was back on the ground. It was very simple to install it took me about 15 minutes counting the time to locktight both bolts and all I used was a drill bit and drill. Jacking the car up does make it easier to access everything but its not required I was still able to do mine on the ground just a little harder to reach since I run slightly oversized tires. Non the less it is a beautiful part a perfect fit and now gives me an area to mount my harness if I trap a high enough speed on the straight in time attack next year to need one.

Project car

well worth the money

instant handling give new life to my old girl easy install

Worth it

You can really feel a difference and installation was a breeze

Rear Stress Bar

Ordered the bar for my 2008 ses- came in just a few days. One of the welds looked sketchy on one side but overall decent. Took about 45min to install, noticed the different in handling right away

What surprised me

What surprised me the most was the amount of overall noise and vibration that this bar reduced in addition to making the car track better. This is on a car with all of the interior gutted in the rear and all 3 solid motor and transmission mounts. Install was not difficult at all.

I'm shocked at the difference this made

I knew my car had a ton of body roll in the rear, but just wow the difference now. The car no longer vibrates loudly on the freeway either which was a bonus.. I feel no roll in the rear AT ALL when I take turns now. Massive handling improvement. I should have done this years ago. Hatchback focus are notorious for eating bearings so hopefully this will help with that, but even if it doesn't I'm very happy with the result. Thanks for offering this part :)

Great bar - easy install

Can feel the rear has stiffened up since the install. 4/5 because the instructions are very hard to read. small black/white pictures do not help. I just winged it pretty much and got it installed fine. 5/5 if the instructions were in a PDF document and in color.

my purchases

Great. The bars work great. Of course I don't have any data to back that up, but the focus seems tighter and react better. The exhaust is great. I am probably too old for the extra sounds. I had the exhaust installed. Didn't wish to purchase another tool to make removal of the old exhaust simpler. Product arrived quickly and complete. THANKS.

Excellent Product!

I put one of these on my 2005 ST years ago when these folks were Focus Sports and it helped tremendously in cutting out the body roll. The ST was already handling well, but this stress bar just made it that much more enjoyable to drive. Handling is crisp and tight. I used this FS Stress Bar, which was super easy to install, along with a Sparco front tower brace and Eibach Progressive Ride lowering springs, which brought it down about 1.5 inches. Just enough to enhance the handling without making it look like it is in the weeds. Love FS Werks. Just ordered the engine cover. Can't wait to put it on.

Makes a noticeable difference

The installation was a little tricky considering the bit used to drill the holes in the sides wasn't a standard bolt for most drill sets. After installation there was a significant loss in body roll and made cornering more comfortable for the driver and passengers.

Rear Stress is No Stress

While having an 07 Focus, I did have to drill holes which were kind of tough but it wasn't a difficult job by any means. The handling is greatly improved and I love the way it looks!
