interesting thought. i've been using ST200 with Roush springs for the last 50K miles. the struts are completely worn out now. definitely a good option for stock ride height, but not dropping 2".

Bennet: Where did you hear that these are rebadged as BAT Euro struts?

it's not only unnecessary if you have less than a 2" drop, it's complete junk. it has only given me problems from day one. i get 2-4 alignments a year. even when i went to shops known for doing track setups, the suspension tech always tells me the camber kit is junk and doesn't work as advertised. i'm removing mine when i redo my suspension.

Couldn't tell you; perhaps on CEG somewhere?

Regardless, the thought was banging 'round in my head from somewhere way back... sorry.

As far as everything I've read they don't exist.

Re: Koni's VS kyb?
I was going to get KYBs but after finding some springs and then they becoming unavailable, I am now getting KONI springs and struts even though Im paying a little more then I planned on but wth its for a Cougar so its 110% worth it

Sweet - I'm hoping to get my hands on some. I just need to start prostituting or something.

Joey, have you thought about getting D2s? you spend 400 more and get a really nice set of coilovers.
