I know what you're saying about the wheelarch gap - that's the only reason I got lowering springs . I was sick of seeing the 4x4 look  . But , with a spring-drop , you get the by-product of the body-to-ground drop . With a "normal" Contour it's not as big of a deal to have the body drop a bit , but with an SVT , the front facia is a PITA to deal with over every speedbump , local intersection , driveways & uni-mart you come in contact with ... literally  . Like I said , with your Contour it won't be that bad to have the car dropped a bit because of the shape of the lower front bumper .

Looks good. Plus, the car will settle in time.

So you think it will settle much then? All the cars I have lowered have basically stayed where they were but I haven't used b+g springs before. I think 2 inches all the way around would look perfect but I didn't want to get g/cs for an extra 1/2 inch.

The car looks great - much better dropped a bit .
It will probably settle a little , they usually do . It won't drop a ton ... but it will drop .
