Just got a P5!

Well...I didn't but my girlfriend did and boy is this car freaking fun to drive! It handles so well. The steering is precise and very acurate. The suspension is firm but not harsh and it comes with a 21mm rear anti-sway but which is unheard of for factory parts. This bar give the car very little roll. This car is much slower than my car but dare I say more fun to drive...don't tell anyone I said that, I'll get in trouble


So...could someone give me the low down(specs) on the suspension?
Who makes the struts and does anyone one have any suggestion of a suspension upgrades?


PS my name is Shaun and I mostly hang out on the contour forum.
I've got a 98 Contour SVT with a few mods.

Thanks eveyone and it's great to be here!

Welcome to the board Shaun. I like those Countour SVT's :] If you check out the FAQ, it's got some information in there that you'll be looking for, and also search around the board using our nifty search function up there next to the FAQ link. there's a wealth of info floating around the forums here that has exactly what you're looking for. :] again, welcome! tell your girl to sign up too and have her take a look around. Also, check out the regional sections to see who's in your area, there's usually a few pro meets going on.
