Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension Lowering My Tour

Im looking to lower my tour and I was just wondering what kit to get. I don't really care about the performance, I just want what would look best for my 99 SE Tour. Any Suggestions?

I *believe* that Eibach gives you the most drop. There is a thread in the Group Buy forum. Look for Corey, he can get you the needed parts.

i think what how it goes is that eibach gives u a 1" drop front and rear...h&r springs give u a slight bigger drop in front and maybe a little less drop in back than eibach...there are other kits too i believe like springs and the mondeo on bats site.....

i think

"What would look best..."

That's up to you. You can drop anywhere from 1" to 2.25". You want it to look "slammed" and suffer the consequences? Or do you want a modest ("Hmmm, there's something about that car...") drop?

BAT springs: F -1.0" R -1.0"
Eibach: F -1.3" R -1.0"
H&R: F -1.75" R -.75"
B+G (standard): F -1.6" R -1.6"
B+G Autobahn: F -2.25" R -1.6" (for 98+)

(All drops are "average" and reported by manufacturer)

you can always cut the coil if you want to go lower, although some disagree with this for their own reasons
