If you have driven a Focus ST, you know these cars a blast. Packing 252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque right off the dealer lot, these hot hatches make the most of EcoBoost performance. For enthusiasts, that’s just a starting point, and if you are looking for a comprehensive upgrade package for your ST, Ford Performance Racing Parts is touting just such a combo.

The EcoBoost-powered Focus ST is a great candidate for performance upgrades and Ford Performance Racing Parts offers a complete mountune upgrade package.
