What do you guys think? This thing is already kind of choppy, but it could possibly do okay with a little lowering...

I drive a focus too, 2007 zx5, what do you have? I gained some fuel economy by changing my plugs for Autolite 104 copper plugs gapped to 0.055. i recently made an upper grille block from a piece of Orange coroplast cut to fit and held on with a piece of transparent adhesive shelf liner trimmed to only cover the Chrome. I ziptied a lower grill block on but it still needs some work.
I Am going to use an empty cut up two liter bottle to cover the fog lights and I am thinking of covering the rims with the same shelf liner to make smooth wheel covers. there are so many cheap almost free mods to try before resorting to chopping suspension.
