I would like to know where the extra ~200 lbs of curb weight comes from vs. the regular Fiesta.

For europe vs. usa ST....

I weighed two identically equipped cars on the same scale, on the same day. Both full fuel...

FoE = 2622 lbf, 62.5% front
FNA = 2750 lbf, 60.1% front

so 128 lbf different. Weight mostly comes from rear doors, bumper structures and other body reinforcements for US crash and full size spare

Relative to base car....wheels/tires, brakes, body bits, turbo/ancillaries, heavier firewall liner (nvh), full size spare...all adds up

I think he meant vs a non ST 1.6 Fiesta.

That's what the "Relative to the base car" bit at the end is for....

 

[timo]

pretty sure bar on base car is 22mm....at least for 2014. Higher roll center and stiffer springs on ST means less stiff bar is required....

As per the ST manual, the front bar is 19 mm.
This is the same size as the non-ST.

I was told that the springs are the same as the FRPP Handling Pack that was available for the 2011-2013 Fiesta.
