Hmm I got this info from a CEG'er:
1. 16, 1/2's inches
2. 16, 3/4's inches
Sounds like the springs aren't the problem. Mine are new so I guess I could see a slight (1/2") change in length over 80K miles. I'll measure the struts and compare them to another SVT I just picked up. Maybe they are stock Contour struts with the SVT sticker placed on them.

PM for intrest in 3L SVT Contours, 3L swaps into your current car, Prepped 3L engines, or anything 3L related.
