If so any pics, and will it perform similarly? 96' Mondeo Conversion/Only one Extensive US & UK mods Konig Imagine 17"s on Nitto NT450 Rubber Need $750 for wheels and tires, pics on my profile

They really don't tighten up the handling on the Contours........ like they do on other cars Money doesn't always bring happiness.

I bought it as a $90 aesthetics mod... ...and people say I'm all go and no show... Honestly even with Bilsteins & H&R's the front towers are probably not moving. They are quite rigid for a production car. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
