You'll be low, but you won't bounce that's for sure.
About the only comment I've ever seen about these springs, good or bad, is that they can be a very harsh ride.

You have to remove the struts to remove the springs. So you might as well do both at once, or you're going to have to pay $300 to install the springs and another $300 to install the struts a couple months later when they blow out.
Suspension work is not easy.
It will take a mechanic a good 4 hours to do, and the average person almost an entire day to do it.
EDIT: It would probably be more correct to say it will take a couple mechanics to do it. Suspension work is not a 1 person job unless you're particularly masochistic.
I've done springs in less than 2 hours, by myself? What mechanic do you have  ?
Springs are easy.

Ahhhieet....you got me. It worked on me and now I'm interested. $85 for 4 springs with the 1.8 drop? Sheeit...I'll try that for sure. Are the going to fit the Contour for SURE? I heard something about Drop Zones not fitting the Contour and someone had to send them back on a previous GB. Just what I heard. Can you clarify? Reassure?

ATTENTION!!! I now have another job...back in business  nobody ever had these springs before(not that I'm aware of) they were not made for us because they didn't properly fit yet...but now they will...or they should! and don't worry about bouncing, if u have good struts u shouldn't bounce at all...there is always a possibility u could not like the ride itself though (as in too stiff)

Hey congrats on the job! You are lucky I have a friend here in Wash Dc that has been trying to get a job for 2 months now.
Yes the guy at the shop told me about that problem with the original springs. They did not fit the struts properly.(I believe thats what he said) They are coming back "re-designed" but he said he is going to make sure they fit properly before he follows through with this groupbuy. He wants to make sure we are getting something good!
I have plans to call him today, but that is contingent around my work schedule.
