I was looking to getting the Eibach / Tokico strut combo for the CSVT. Does anybody have that combo? Id like to see some contours with eibachs.. also if i get eibachs do i need a camber kit? or can they align the car with eibachs on alright?

lemme know what suspension u have .. im looking for performance oriented over looks. Maybe i can swing by and take a peek..?!

Tokico'
s for the contour??? Do they even exist? Buy a Koni kit and call it a day. Searching around the suspension forum will also help you out quite a bit.

Or save some money and look into the BAT kit. I haven't heard complaints about either kit. The dfference is in the drop and I believe only the Koni's are adjustable.

The Koni kit comes with Konis....

That would be my choice....



But Eibachs and ST200's as requested on my old SE's...




These are the Eibacs for the Zetec on my 2.5 seemed to sit better..

Also search around for Charlies SVT and Hectors supercharged Zetec...also on Eibachs...

BAT spring/strut combo here. No caster kit was required.

Will try to get some pics of the new stance.

the eibach / st200 looks real nice... how is the ride tho? i have a probe on eibachs w/ stock struts and its really bad, but ive sat in one with the eibach tokico combo and what a smooth and aggressive ride... thats what im looking for in the SVT. I wasnt aware tokico didnt make them for the contour tho!

Ride depending on your struts.

Probably pretty close to stock...
