Brakes applied in turns... not touching pedals

I don't know how much of the C-Max suspension is carried over from the Focus, but it would be interesting to see if something like the Focus Handling Pack and a set of Focus ST wheels and tires would boost the cornering ability.

Not slowing down in turns is a good way to keep up your average speed and it would be a lot more efficient than alternating between stomping on the brake and stomping on the accelerator.

I can't find any specs on that Focus package, but the C-Max specs allready show 25.5mm front and 22mm rear sway bars with gas shocks.  Regardless, what would "soup-up" a 2900 lb. car may not have as much effect on a 3600 lb. car... but what soups-up a Focus Hybrid may be just the ticket!

 

I like the idea of talking performance parts for a hybrid, but I see very little need for it in this case. Wonder what the Prii aftermarket's like...

 

Have fun,
