Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension Stiffer Rear Springs Vs Stiffer Rear Sway Bar?

Objection. Compound question. But a few comments:

#1 GOOD LUCK finding stiffer springs if you like the stock ride height. Old SE springs are apparently stiffest, Roush may do a slight drop, I can't address height changes from coil overs like ground controls, so maybe they are your answer. But I found NOTHING aftermarket otherwise that was stiffer w/o height changes. I even looked into having heavier rear springs made as I want a functional trunk (good for carrying corpses) and rear passengers. But it got prohibitive fast.

#2 Going with a stock rear sway bar so you don't break loose from the rear subframe like with an Aussie bar? HA! There have been bunches of postings of CSVTs that broke loose just with STOCK bars! If you wanna be aggressive, you wanna get reinforced correctly and the stock bar is not the fix.

#3 SOMEWHERE on this site there are specs on the various stock springs, old SE vs vs new SE vs SVT vs GL. Keeping looking and you'll find it WITHOUT using the search function. Try the "FAQ" and "Model Specifications."
