Following a line of praised high performance Fords the expectations for the RS version of the second generation Focus were high. The blue oval boys did deliver, by turning the compact family car into a sports car that seems to have it all: the looks, the power, the chassis and an engine note that keeps you awake at night.

FORD FOCUS RS 2009 - 2011

It seems Ford engineers have been overly exited tuning the RS’ suspension. The ride is agile, sharp and very enchanting – and yet it can be disappointing for the typical owner without “rally driver” on his or hers business card. The fast Ford lacks road filtering, and is twitchy and a handful. The amount of available power plays its part, especially after some performance tuning. With KONI Sport shocks fitted, the Focus RS instantly feels a better manageable car. Rather than copying the road it now swallows the surface, proving much more confidence to the driver. With unnecessary input from the wheels eliminated and a better front/rear balance the hot hatch behaves much better corner-in, corner-out and yes: in-between corners as well. Additionally these KONI Sport shock absorbers are equipped with a very wide and usable adjustment range. If you are looking for a more enjoyable occasional B-road detour or beating your Nürburgring lap time: these shocks make it possible.
