i do believe i own an svt as well as you do. so i do know that svt isn't the same as a contour se. i don't know from personal experience what the kyb struts are like i just know what i heard. i also heard that the bat would be the best "close to stock" feeling suspension kit. which i do believe i said i thought would be the best option, considering what this person wants. listen to what i have to say before making a remark about what i said. maybe next time i should think twice about posting my opinion for fear of people being a smart a**.
