Fiesta Handling Pack - M-FR3-FA

[brbauer2]

I've had this suspension in the garage for several years since I originally bought it for my '14 SE but never installed it.

Is anyone running it on their FiST? I know there is going to be very minimal drop, just wondering if it's worth the install for ride quality/suspension response.

Could that just be the actual factory FiST suspension system marketed as an upgrade for the 'lesser' Fiestas?

That's how I understood it to be. That setup is already on the FiST.

I had it on my first SES, the Fiesta handling kit was the oem kit from the EU market standard Fiesta. It isn't ST related. It was a huge improvement over the standard suspension but would be a step down from oem ST parts.

Thanks for clarifying this.

Basically, slightly less spring rate/lowering and damper valving than the factory FiST setup?

I'd put it at 2/3rds oem ST.

It's a 10mm drop from standard Fiesta vs 15mm for ST. Lower spring and damper rates also.

Yep, this is exactly correct. I ran the same setup on my 2011 Fiesta.

Thanks for all the info!

Guess I'll just keep mine as a backup and go with a different setup in the spring before I start tracking the car.
