Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northeast east coasters with the BAT or SPAX kits

New yorkers if you own the BAT kit or SPAX kit please describe your pleasure or displeasure with them as far as taking the bumps are concerned and as far as loading up with people and cargo is concerned.

I had the BAT kit on my 95 SE. Well worth the money. been awhile since I've been here, see if you can search old archives for info.

Barry! Long time no speak! How are you? I hope all is good with the Scooby.

I have the BAT handling kit with my SVT and it really isn't to bad handling the bumps/ruts/holes in NYC streets. There is one killer patch, or was, on 34th, between 10th and 9th which hurt. But, other than that, the suspension isn't so hard that its bone jarring. Coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel, NJ bound, taking that helix close to 70 is fun. The car is just flat with the kit and well worth the money and compromise.

Edit: I used to work 4p-12a, so I would leave work between 1a-2a and have fun, almost no one else on the roads, so no flaming please! When really loaded, full trunk and and full back seat, I have yet to rub. It lowers the car about 1" - 1.25", so its really not that bad.

I have Eibach springs and BAT struts and I have to say it's one of the best mods I've done. I LOVE the way the car rides - or at least how it used to... Gotta get it back on the road.

Chris, did you get the Aussie bar also? I'm thinking it's time for the BAT kit for me in another month or two.
