is there anybody here who actually has the spax adjustables on their contour?? i talked to bat and the long and short is their supposed to be comparable to koni but with short rods to be used with lowering springs, but that last post about the VW spax struts scared me a bit...although that was coming from a VW owner so i'll take it with a grain of salt 
Let's clear this up.
All of the suitable struts have shortened rods. Koni, BAT, Spax, etc.
KYB, Sachs, Stock, ST200, do not. This is a chief contributor to early wear with lowering springs.
Are you sure you "need" GC's?
I just put Koni/Roush on the car and I'm bottoming less than I did before with the stock setup.
GC's seems like an expensive route to take just so you can raise a car for winter.
The Spax reputation went to hell for a while, but they were bought out and what I had read was that the new management had got them back in shape around the mid-90's. I'm surprised to find a post from 1999 that still pans them. Could be they still suck? Who knows.
