My tour now has 75K miles and the suspension is feeling a bit tired. I'm thinking of getting the Euro handling kit from BAT. Any opinions on it for a stock Zetec SE? Also the kit does not come with shocks,which shocks would'nt hurt my ride too bad but would also compliment the kit?

the bat kit comes with springs and struts...i haven't installed them on my svt yet but "barry" had them installed on his se contour and he had nothing but good things to say about them. it looks pretty good and it dropped the car about an inch...that is the best way to go if you ask me...good luck.

The BAT kit looks like one hell of a nice matched set.
It would/will definitely be my choice...

Here is a picture of our SVT with the BAT Euro kit installed. Sorry about the picture quality. New pics will be taken in the near future.

I have the BAT struts with H&R springs (they are alittle lower than the BAT) and love it...

Bat kit is going to be my choice once I get to suspension.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
