Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension SVT springs + struts vs stock

I saw an ad for SVT springs and struts for 100 dollars with about 60,000 miles on them. I wanted to know if this was a good deal? And how much the SVT springs and struts would lower my car? Im going to be getting 17" rims so I don't think there will be a problem...thanks

SVT springs will not lower your car one bit.

Struts at 60K miles are not worth the effort or money to put on your car.

This really doesn't sound like what you want at all.

I personally favor the BAT European Handling kit. It's $599 for new struts and springs and it lowers the car about an inch. You could go with Koni struts and H&R or Eibach springs, and those lower the car over an inch. This solution is expensive, however, since the Konis are around $150+ each.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!! My cars struts were all done at 60,000. for about 400 you could get aftermarket struts that would improve your ride on stock springs or for a couple hundred more you could do the BAT kit mentioned above which seems to get good results from those who have done it
