Hey, I used to have a 99 SE and when I had it, I put the BAT kit in - but now I have an SVT. I still have a set of original 99 SE springs and struts left - if you think that they will fit your 97 and you want them I will sell them to you. They do have 50K miles on them but they did not have any problems when I had them replaced with BAT kit at a local shop.
