Well I haven't posted much in the past so here's a update on the contour.

My new lowering springs, pics show the rear springs. The fronts are on the car already. I had to buy rear struts do to them being shot.

I will be getting some before and after shots sunday
BTW The other strut is at the co-workers shop.
 
they look almost like vogtland springs... But im probably wrong...

Let me get this straight, you lowered the front and left the struts stock... But you got new struts for the back and lowered it? :confused: whats the point in that?

Nope new struts went on the front, but some bills got in the way of finishing the rear. Thats why I did that, plus I knew I would have the money to finish it up next weekend so I installed the front for cheap while I can. I looked at it like this

Friend install - $50
Other shops - $180plus tax

So yeah I took to cheap way out and used that money on the rear set.

I"ll have some pics around 5pm today I'll yall updated.

Well I'll post pics when the springs settle they still look alittle off.

To AliasJerk
Monroe Struts-4 for $120
Racing Beat springs (protege version)-4 for $80

Before anyone flames me on the springs, my friend test fitted the springs and found them work perfectly with the car.(He works at park mazda in wooster,ohio)

Umm checked the weight differences of the cars? What about front and rear weight differences? Good luck with that ghetto setup.
