Sorry for the delay in gettin back to you Lon, I had to get 19 stitches Friday (bike accident) and then I have been "modding" my precats/exhaust manifolds all day today.
I didn't install the suspension in my car since it was in there when I bought the car from my friend. I have installed suspension in cars before, but not any Contour's. I would be interested in helping you out, as long as you have:
1)garage wide enough to work in
2)compressor and air line to run my impact wrench
3)set of jackstands (I have one set, but 4 makes it easier)
4)frosty beverages
There have been some detailed posts on installing suspension in 'tours that could help us along. A search thru the archives could help avoid any trouble spots.
What suspension package were you thinking of going with? And I'm sure we can work out a deal for the wheels and scanner
