what suspension kit you choose REALLY depends on what you want to use you're car for. A lot of people like the BAT kit because its a great upgrade for a daily driver. People who have gotten it like it because it makes cornering a dream while not sacrificing the ride confort of the Contour SVT. The very common alternative is going the route of Koni. Right now they have a sport kit which comes with everything you need but is a little more expensive, but you also get their amaizing lifetime warrenty. This kit has adjustible ride feeling, so you can either have it really firm or a little smother, It also costs a pretty penny more. For a tight budget I would say go with the BAT kit. If you have you're heart set on cornering, Koni all of the way.
