Does anyone know the drop on the car in the front and the rear?

I am pretty sure the contour drop is a little more than the cougar one, Roush claimed a 1" drop all around for the cougar, I would estimate mine closer to 1.5" but will let you know Quote: Originally posted by kjgolf09: So if I were to get these springs I just would have to get struts meant for a 98+ contour and I would be fine?
