awesome... what kit did you end up going with?
Suspension installs are really fun, Bill and I did one on my corolla... took us 3 and a half hours with only minimal problems with the rear (Wrecked the rear endlinks and almost ruined a brake line.)
Ive found that working on the underside of a contour is a complete pain in the ass no matter what you have to do. Wait... Ive found that working on anything on a contour is a complete pain in the ass, but then if rust gets involved its just like torture.
