I was thinking of the Bat kit, will there be any issues w/ putting them on my car? I've E0 SVT rims w/ stock size tires on my car. I heard that it would lower my car a little. If so, how much? Will it cause any rubbing? I guess I'm looking for someone who may have already done this swap.

The rear is a bit lower than expected but it doesn't help have a sub box in the trunk either. Christopher A. Wong chris@ctamotorsports.com CTA Motorsports Project 98.5 SVT Project 95 SE

It gave the car a nice stance and the drive is so much better. If you do go with that make sure you don't use your old struts because it will be the worst ride you have ever been through. That conversion is alittle over 1000. I recomend the rear anti sway bar and all the energy suspension bushing they make for your contour. Which isn't many. 95 contour (All the usual mods and then some.) Trying to sell four wheeler so i can buy turbo.
