Todras, I'll charge myself $50/hr labor if that makes you feel better. MapOfTaziFoSho, air tools rock. I changed the lower control arm on a '95 T-bird so I'm not too worried about the struts on my 'Tour. Thanks again for the parts Rog. I'll get them on eventually. If all else fails I'll do it when I go back to WV at the end of June. I wonder if I do it one at a time at like 2 a.m. the apt. people won't notice........... hum......

It went from being able to get my jack under the front bumper to not even coming close. I'll have to get some measurements for ya. ~~~~~~Mike~~~~~~ Black 2006 VW Rabbit Silver 2000 Contour SVT - SOLD ~~~~The Car~~~~~

All it cost me was a left fender ( tried to use a claw hammer to get it out, got nice creases now) and a wheel bearing ( I have no idea what he did there). After I told him to take a hike, I got it done in about 5 hours. I didn't use a spring compressor when I took them off the car, only to get the springs off the struts. 2000 SVT Contour #2099 H&R Springs Koni Struts KKM Intake BAT Intake Tube Team Dynamics DTM's Mirko splitter carbon fiber parts
