It was being painted when I took that shot. It's done now though.

Hello
I live in Seattle, have a 2000 SE 2.5 with 62M on the odometer. Front shocks are in need of replacement, too spongy, firmness gone; am considering replacing either the shocks alone with sport units, such as BAT Euros, SPAX, etc. Have decided stock SVT or SE units might also be acceptable with my stock springs, which the Dealer says are fine.
However, how do you like your BAT kit? I would like to know if you have experienced any scraping (since you are one of a very few who has the BAT kit on anything but an SVT). Also, how whould you characterize the ride? Is it supple enough to absorb the vibrations and bumps?
MY SE transmits all the road vibration, and the dash is suffering from it.
I have spoken with Chris at CTA and with BAT, and they have strongly recommended the BAT kit as opposed to installing sport shocks with stock springs.
Your experience?
Would appreciate any thoughts you might have.
Thanks
Eric

Ive had the BAT kit for a year now and I've never been more happier..the feel on the road is excellent, its almost like a regular car feel while still having the ability to take sharp corners..The drop is not as drastic (1-inch) as other suspension kits but the difference is night and day..Im 100% positive that you will not regret having the BAT kit.

Wow, old post. Anyway, I have the bat kit on my Mystique as well. with stock wheels & tires, the difference is AMAZING. Compliant, comfortable, yet firm & sporty. Add my 17" ST200s and the car becomes very sporty & can handle most anything I throw it into.
If you're gonna keep the stock springs, go with the Bill Jenkings stock replacement value struts. Can't go wrong at that price...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
