(I) can't deal with the power loss and the inability to get to my cars sweet spot quicker.

Here is documentation that DMD does not lose power over stock damper. Whether it GAINED 2 HP over stock, as the dyno shows is unknown as this is within range of dyno variability. Now, you are comparing DMD to UDP. It is possible that you lost power here. However, the LARGEST gain yet posted on a Contour from a UDP is 5 HP (and several have been in the 2-4 HP range). So assuming best case UDP gain (5HP) and wost case DMD (0 HP) you are down 5 HP and about 4lb/ft. This is detectable but barely. I will need to see this 9 HP loss you mention..

I know you have made up your mind..thats fine, this is for others that may be following this thread..
