Though I do agree with everyone else that the BAT kit is the way to go on the Contour, if I do the suspension that's the way I'm going.


I've heard good things about kybs on other cars, but not on contours. They are supposed to be a near stock replacement on contours, which is most likely true. And if it is true, the stockers aren't made for lowering springs so neither are they kybs. I'd use them with stock springs, but after blowing out svt struts with mild lowering springs, I wouldn't dare risk the trouble of it again.



The archives, sans a couple of people would certainly point away from using the KYBs.

As you mentioned they seem to be fine on other cars. I had a set of AGXs on my 300zxtt a couple years ago and it handled like butter.
