I'd say get a different set of springs. I don't really know if the Roush springs are supposed to lower any but I know Eibach, H&R's and Intrax lower the car more than an inch. BAT springs lower it about an inch.

Just get some Ground Control Coilovers. That setup will get you the lowest effect.

I feel that the H&Rs made my car sit "just right" . To answer your question (Jermaine) , NO . Changing the struts will NOT change the ride height , just the "dampening" of the bumps .

I'm not sure the Ground Controls work with the Countour Zetec.

Really?? I thought they worked on all Contours. Why not?

I went with Roush springs, and Koni struts. Its lowered the car a little over an inch. I like it, and good for Rockfords F'ed up roads.

Oh, I didn't take notice to what kind of contour he had. I know they work for the SVT, but not sure about the zetec.
