if your ordering from BAT go with the BAt struts, good bang for the buck. not sure if anyone has used spax. check out the suspension forum.

I had Spax struts with the BAT springs and loved them. Great ride quality.

I had SPAX + Eibachs on my 99svt, loved 'em and would buy again.

I had the SPAX adjustables on my car before I sold it to BigBen, and really liked them. The rebound damping is not way overdone like on the Konis. I also drove Worldtour's car when he had the non-adj SPAX, and I really liked them too (they are why I bought the adjustables for my car)

I'm using them with Eibachs. I went from stock struts to BATs, so the change was drastic. I'm very happy with how BATs are tuned for Contours and they compliment the Eibachs nicely imo. They also rid the rearend of the "Eibach sag" that I've read about here on CEG.

I'm getting ready to replace my struts too. Can the BAT struts be used with the stock SVT springs?

I was wondering the same thing myself...but for the price I just ordered the whole kit.

EDIT: just checked my account. Money took out today. Looks like $690 shipped!

I am unfamiliar with the SVT struts and springs, but I am guessing there wouldn't be a problem using BAT struts that are designed for Contour/SVT Contours :shrug:

That makes sense. I just need a strut that is close to OEM. Not to stiff as I drive on my dirt camp road 15 miles everyday in the summer.
