That's the same PN I have on my car right now. Also take a look at the PN's for CTA's site. From what I have listed on my Koni boxes and what Chris has listed you have the correct part but that PN is for the rear not the front. Can you by chance tell us what the other box lists for it's PN? 1998 to 2000 Contour SVT (Front) 8710-1368 Sport 1998 to 2000 Contour/Mystique (Front) 8710-1368 Sport 1999 to 2003 Cougar (Front) 8710-1368 Sport 1995 to 1997 Contour/Mystique (Front) 8710-1293 Sport All Models (Rear) 8710-1294 Sport Then: 99 Silver Frost SVT #1919 237hp/219tq All Motor Now: 06 White STI Parts 4 sale
