kjb219....you can use the Roush cougar springs for 98+ contours...Roush made the springs for the Cougar but the spring perches and struts mounts are identical to the Contour.
To make them fit an early year contour you have to get the Konis for the 98+ and I am trying to remember if you as need to change to top strut mount as the 95-97 had pigtail springs in the front...the rears will bolt on no problem.
I have Konis and Roush Cougar springs installed...I would say 95% of your handling improvement will come from the Konis so buy whatever springs to give you the desired drop. On my 1999 SVT Contour, the drop is more that I wanted, approximately 2" which was not what I was looking for. Roush claims a 1" drop on Cougars but the contour has a slightly different stock setup.
Overall, it is a good setup for the price.
