Sounds a little risky, to me.  I've never heard of those before I would go with Ground Control.

Well since you'll be the only one in the Contour world installing them good luck!  Let me guys since you skimped on GC's you're going to skimp on Koni's as well. You'd think a person would do a lot of research before hacking suspension.

they're probably generic version of coilovers that aren't vehicle specific...im sure you'll need o-rings or something to make them fit.
if you just want em for looks I doubt they'd be that bad and probably wouldn't bother the average car enthusiast.
I want coilovers also but can't justify spending a G on my suspension. I wish there were alternatives...they need to bring the Roush/ST200 combo back or something similar

You use o-rings to put coil overs on???
And you can still get roush and st200 struts or svt struts, maybe a little used, but they're still available.
