Hey Everyone, i'm new to the site, and i like what i see. I have a Black with dark blue interior 2000 svt contour, i think its #194, and i love driving it. its my daily commuter so i've already got almost 90,000 miles on it. but it still performs like the day i got it. its got 16" O.Z. rims gun metal gray tinted windows, KKM intake, and borla exhaust(cut out resinators). not too meny mods. but it still can hang with some of the big boys.(at least in the corners:))I get complements on the car as is but i'd like to hear your thoughts on a suspention set up that i can still drive everyday, and if there are any other bolt ons that you might suggest, i appretiate all your help,
BLK2000svt.

First off welcome to CEG!!! There are many knowledgeable people on this site who can help. Check out the suspension section and do some searches for suspension components. Also check out the aftermarket links in the links section on the homepage. If you cant find what your lookin for just ask. Once again welcome!

Welcome! Just as backinblack said, check out the suspension fourms. Tons of great info there. If you want to know for sure what your build number is call: 1-800-FORD-SVT. Give them your VIN number and they will tell you your build number/production date. You can also get a certificate with that info on it by sending a copy of your registration and they will mail you out the cert.
Enjoy the site!

Checking the suppliers was a good idea for a suspension setup. BAT has some nice components & suspension systems that are designed to work VERY well on our platform. They've earned a lot of my cash already as their service has been nothing less than top notch in my experience.
There is also a group buy on Koni struts going on, but you can shop around to see if it is a good deal for you. G-Force Auto has also been a good supplier of parts for me.
Enjoy the ride & welcome to CEG!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

the first thing that i would do is get a ypipe, either read the how to on optimizing the stock one, or go through bat,sp,tru benz,etc and buy one of those ones
