So many lowering spring posts, not even funny. Just click what you use... (Ground Control not applicable on this poll). Highest percentage will ultimately mean the best combination of ride, handling, looks, and performane. What lowering springs do you run on your Mystour??? Lowering Springs You Are Running Right Now

BWAHAHAHAHA... Yeah right... 
All the spring combos have been posted about and reviewed ad nauseam.
However because you seem to be lazy I'll do a brief summary of what matters. 
BAT is the best for "stock plus" - Best ride quality, moderate drop, eliminates most lift & dive. Basically fixes all the stock issues and improves handling. A "can't go wrong" set.
Eibach - 2nd in ride quality, significant drop, gives up firmness for nicer ride quality, SAGS IN THE ASS IMO the last is just a killer and a real bummer. I love the Eibachs on the wife's car.
Koni - only comes in the UK kit and maybe one person has tried the package. I would expect the matched setup to be good. I'd guess they are between Eibach and H&R. Very costly after exchange, shipping, and VAT.
H&R - basically a track spring for the street. Best handling, moderate drop, sacrifices the most ride quality because of the aggressive spring rates. The "performance" spring of the bunch.
IMNSHO the others don't matter because they are only drop springs. They were made to "drop" the car and not much else.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I bought the BAT spring/Koni Strut combination for my SE/SVT project car.

They�re not very costly right now. Take a look at this page; http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/koni/details?part_num=1130%201603&products=1&part_category=KONI%20Sport%20Suspension%20Kit&specific_fit=98-01%20FORD%20Contour%20Sedan%206%20Cyl.&ajr_skey=3701e6c405a66c1af7fb245cf8762fc2
That's $8.03 less than the BAT spring/Bilstein strut combination. And the shipping is FREE!
So I ordered the Koni Sport Suspension Kit on Monday for my SVT "toy".

Roush were just a drop and not (even if not big) performance spring? I beg to differ.
