nah....I'm pretty sure they changed when the SVT was redone in 98.5. After 98.5 they have the same rotors just different calipers(same as all contours, smaller surface contact). At least this is what I have read and what people have told me, namely EBC & CTA motorsports. But I don't have both years of cars so I can't say from first hand experience. I can say these fit on my early 1998 SVT. And if you look on websites that sell EBC's for the Contour, they will say 98 an earlier NOT AVIALABLE.
Hope that helps!
