yes I would say its very appropriate for autocrossing and the occasional summer weekend cruise, but I wouldnt recommend it for anything else, especially not a daily driver.

and as far as them being 'the same' an the KSports... I doubt it, its a simple part, integrated strut and spring, ANYONE who makes that is going to look suprisingly like the other.

and Rara's warning about the racing coilovers is very accurate. The sway bar links especially, although with their stiffness I really dont think the sway bar is even necissary [my rear bar wasnt even attached the last few months it was on the road and I didnt even notice]. The knuckle attachment is relevent but is not one that would really concern me.

and gamill, I dont think they have ever listed the cougar as supported for the D2's, our kits when they arrived were stamped mondeo.
