I was curious when I saw that someone on the board had Roush springs. I went to www.roushperf.com and saw that they made some current-gen cougar parts, including springs. They "retail" for $189.00 on the website, but under the "What's New" section at the bottom of the page, they state 40% off all cougar products. This comes out to something like $120. That's a damn good price if you can get it. Much cheaper than the Eibachs and H&Rs. Anyone get in on this deal?
Have you put in your $0.02 to save contour.org?? Put in what you can spare to keep the site up. Check the General Forum.

LBSVT or anybody else with the Roushs - were there any fitment issues? Roush guy said that he was not sure but he thought that some or all Contours may have a perch that was too small or something (perhaps pre 98??).
Do not want a harsh ride, has it sofened up??
Looking for input from the Contour guys with these..
But at $120 (shipped), that is a deal!

But at $120 (shipped), that is a deal! It is a harsher ride than stock, but I'm not sure if that's due to the springs or the KYB struts. No fitment issues on my car. Ride is bouncy too.
