I just noticed that a coworker has parked his Contour (also a '97 GL) next to mines and quickly snapped some pics. The grey one is mines (with SVT struts and springs) and the blue one is completely unmodded. There isn't much difference if any... The parking lot has a definite incline towards the front of the cars. Sorry for the pic quality... Tiv

Is ours is on stilts or something? Your car's official color is Champagne, by the way (more gold than grey). Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX

One thing is true though, steering became much easier after the swap. Tiv
