The European based Contour platform offers fairly competent handling right out of the box. This makes it a excellent candidate for suspension modifications to make an already good car handle even better.
Struts- we are currently importing sport tuned struts for the Contour/Cougar cars by the following European manufacturers; Sachs/Boge, Spax, Bilstein and Koni. Most are European market products designed for the Mondeo, which we have tested for compatibility (fit and performance) on the US cars. See fitting notes below. Note: Cougar's use later 98-2001 Contour Struts.
Front Struts- are different on 95-97 (early) and 98-2001 (late) Contour/Mystique cars. Early strut assemblies utilize a "pigtail" type spring, as located on lower perch. Later 98-99 strut assemblies use an open wound spring (diameters same at top and bottom). For anyone considering swapping springs between the model years, it is possible to use later 98-01 type springs with earlier 95-97 struts (the strut perch will allow the spring to seat well enough for proper function). Fitting early 9597 springs to late 98-01 struts is not recommended as the strut perch has no provision for the spring "pigtail" end to seat. Swapping complete strut/spring assemblies between the model years is possible, and has some benefits depending on application and brand of components being used.
Rear Struts- Although some manufacturers part numbers differ between early 95-97 and later 9899 cars, we don't see any real difference in the overall specification of the component. This means swapping rear struts between early and late cars should not pose a problem.
Springs- It seems common these days that aftermarket springs are being purchased more for "looks" than any road handling enhancement value. Lowering or "drop springs" are just that, they lower the cars ride height for mostly aesthetic reasons. With spring rates very similar to stock (usually no more than +10%), these springs are marketed for use on newer cars with O.E. (stock) shocks so the car will look cool. The handling benefit to this type of spring is minimal. The lower center of gravity is a plus, but the amount of body lean is still greater than optimum. BAT has developed a true sport spring application for the Contour which combines both lowered ride height with increased rate for optimal performance. Our spring applications are not suitable for use with standard O.E. shocks. For best results they should be used with sport valved (increased rate) European type struts only.
Bushings- We have been involved in manufacturing our own line of urethane suspension bushing products for over 15 years. We got involved purely by necessity as the recognize bushing manufacturers had little interest in making small batches of bushings for the "non popular" Fords we were interested in. So we invested in having moulds made and BAT currently offers a wide range of urethane products for cars like Fiesta, Escort, Capri, Cortina, Merkur XR4Ti & Scorpio and now the Contour. Our bushing products offer unequaled quality as we use only the finest materials. Shore-A hardness Uniroyal 78-80 is our choice for precise control without harshness or noise. We have cars that have been assembled with our bushing products and used (raced) for more than 15 years without showing signs of wear or degradation.
Sway Bars- We recommend increasing the diameter of the rear bar only for better "balance". For this we offer a 19mm bar upgrade for standard cars (normally equipped with 16mm), and a 21mm for SE/SVT cars (normally equipped with 18mm). We do not recommend increasing the front bar diameter on front wheel drive cars such as the Contour. Installing a larger front bar would increase understeer which would not be desirable. The 19mm bars are European Ford imports, 21mm bars are a BAT produced item.

Ford Contour Performance Parts....by Urethane Sway Bar Clamp Bushings One of the first suspension modifications you should make is also the cheapest and the easiest. Our heavy duty urethane bar clamp bushings replace the soft standard rubber bushes for quicker, more direct, response to steering input. Theory being, some of the sway bars effectiveness is wasted as bushing deflection. If this can be limited more of the leverage is transferred making the bar more effective.

Sport Spring Sets Our specially designed progressive rate -25mm (-1") sport springs will minimize body "roll" while cornering and reduce "dive" under hard braking. Low and stiff enough for maximum handling benefit without sacrificing the overall comfort and load carrying capability of the vehicle. Progressive springs are designed to become stiffer (10-50%) as they are compressed allowing for a smooth transition between (very reasonable) straight line comfort and high performance cornering. We can supply sport springs for both early (9597) and late (98 >) 4 and 6 cylinder Contours. BAT sport springs are made from premium chrome silicone spring wire, cold wound to exacting standards, meeting all ISO/TUV standards. Notes: Sport springs require fitting struts with more rebound rate than standard O.E. types offer. We offer a selection of European manufactured struts that are suitable of the task. Lowering your cars ride height also adds negative camber to the front suspension angles. This is usually not a problem and actually benefits handling as long as the car is not lowered more than 1"- 1.5" (25mm-35mm). The Contour does not have an adjustment to compensate for large changes in camber and excessive tire wear can occur with additional lowering. Always have the front and rear realigned (set toe) after doing any suspension work.

European Handling Kit A "tuned suspension system" offers a matched components engineered to work together for optimal performance. This is what you can expect the BAT European Handling Kit which easily takes a standard Contour (with performance wheels & tires) to well beyond SVT handling performance levels (read some customer comments below) and is also a great enhancement for SVT's as well. Our complete suspension package includes a set of German made sport valved gas struts and matching BAT -25mm sport springs (see spring section). The ride feel is very European, noticeably firm but still compliant. No loose dental fillings here. Ride height is reduced (-25mm), enough to maximize handling and atheistics without totally sacrificing the load carrying capabilities of a sedan type car. Additionally buying parts in this "kit" form represents a cost savings over individual part pricing. BAT European Handling Kit (95-2001 Contour)

Read customer comments on the BAT European Handling Kit :
"The kit totally transformed my cars handling. I can't believe it is the same car." - Dave G. Cherry Hill, NJ (97 Contour LX) "Much less body roll and greatly reduced dive under braking over the stock SVT suspension, it now just feels right" - Ted W. Phila., PA (1999 SVT) "The best modification I have made to my car" - Rick G. Sherman Oaks, CA (1995 Contour SE) "Makes you realize how much better Ford could have made the SVT handle without any ill effects. The car now has much better overall balance." - Dave F. West Chester PA (1998 SVT) "I can't believe the amount of performance for the price. Kudos to BAT." - Robin P. Tarpon Springs FL (1998 Contour)
Euro Sport Struts Made in Germany, and specially valved to our specifications, these struts offer substantially uprated bump and rebound specification. The shock valving is especially well suited for use with sport (stiffer) springs and will also do wonders in place of the SVT's O.E. struts. If you are looking for a high quality (yet affordable) gas strut to make your Contour handle up to its full potential these are the ones to have. We are so impressed with the performance of these struts we have made them the basis of our BAT European Handling Kit (see above). Front struts utilize late type (98-2000) spring pearch design but can be fitted to earlier (95-97) cars by using late type front springs. Rear struts interchange without modidfication.

Rear Sway Bars Contour/Cougar For increased handling and better balance (reduced understeer) we highly recommend increasing the diameter of the rear sway bar. For this we offer the 19mm European Mondeo rear bar as an upgrade for the standard 4 & 6 cylinder cars (normally equipped with 16mm) and for the SE/SVT cars (normally equipped with 18mm) we produce a custom 21mm rear bar. For maximum performance and ease of installation, we supply the sway bars with urethane bushings. BAT sway bars are the only aftermarket sway bars that exactly follow the original bar bend specifications and are equipped with bushing limiters to keep the bar properly located (this is the main cause of noise and why some aftermarket sway bars often destroy the mounting clamps). weight specification 19mm bar @ 5.5 lbs., 21mm bar @ 7.4 lbs.)

Many owners are concerned about the possible alignment issues that go along with lowering a vehicles ride height. We warn against using springs that lower so much that the alignment will be out of specification even after adjustment causing adverse tire wear. To elaborate on this issue we tested a 1997 Contour with a BAT European Handling Kit. The "before" spec. is prior to modification, "after" is with the kit installed, and "adjusted" is after alignment is optimized, "specified range" is what would be considered an acceptable specification range. As ride height is lowered camber changes 0 0 0 0 from (-0.02 to -1.20 ) and toe changes from (-0.05 to -0.37 ). Even with the ride height reduced 1.15" the test car is still 0 within camber tolerance at (-1.20 ). Camber is non adjustable 0 and it is important to stay within the maximum of (-1.7 ). The 0 toe spec (-0.37 ) is well out of range but is easily adjusted to 0 (-0.09 ) toe out. Camber also changes slightly with the toe 0 adjustment to (-1.25 ). In the rear the toe is again affected by 0 the lowering to an out of specification (0.31 ) which is adjusted back to an average of the standard range at 0 (.016 ). As the data confirms using the properly matched suspension components yields both maximum handling benefit without any adverse alignment issues.

H.D. Rear Subframe Assemblies Under some conditions Contour/Cougar vehicles have exhibited failure of the rear sway bar mounting points. Standard sway bar mounts are light duty (only spot welded in place) and can tear-away from the subframe . Repairing the broken mounts, in place (on the car) can be difficultrequiring fabrication and welding. It is easier, and generally less costly, to replace the entire damaged subframe with this new improved version. We supply new subframes with strengthened sway bar mounting brackets constructed from 304 stainless steel and perimeter welded for strength. The fabricated mounting area is then sealed with a rust inhibitor for long life. Installation can be done at home with simple hand tools and two floor jacks, although an alignment will be required after installation. Requires special clamps and bushings (below). H.D.

Bilstein Struts Contour/Cougar Anyone familiar with the name Bilstein would most likely associate them with the high dollar "Rallye" series (yellow color) inverted piston mono tube dampers they have been offering for years. By designing a series of more traditional twin tube gas struts Bilstein is attempting to bring high quality German manufactured struts and shocks to the masses, that is if you are fortunate enough to drive a vehicle that is worthy of their attention. We have been pestering our Bilstein representative in Europe for over a year now and finally have some of their new, and more attractively priced, product available for sale. B4 Series struts offer genuine Bilstein technology and quality: with features like twin tube high pressure gas pressure design- for precise handling and control, hard chrome piston rod, multi stage valving with self adjusting piston, and performance that exceeds all original equipment specifications. After testing these new Bilstein's on a couple of different Contours we are impressed. First we installed a set on a 1996 SE thinking the combination of the SE's fairly stiff stock springs and the high pressure valving would be a nice complement. You will note that there are very few applications on front struts for these early cars and these Bislteins paired with the SE springs worked tremendously well together. We then did a similar install on a SVT, and like the SE had very good results with the stock springs. The car was noticeably more firm and well controlled. For the last test we matched the Bilsteins with our BAT -25mm sport springs to get a feel for their maximum potential and they did not disappoint. Again the car felt very well balanced, but with even less body roll and dive (more a benefit of the springs). There you have it, whether you are looking for top quality performance struts to upgrade a standard car, or something to match up with aftermarket sport springs these Bilsteins are an excellent choice.

Front Strut Brace Contour/Cougar This nicely designed OMP front strut tower brace is just the thing for stiffening up the front chassis on your Contour or Cougar. Brace end plates bolt directly to the strut towers linking left and right sides and allow for loading adjustment with R/L thread turn buckle and lock nuts. This type of bar actually works quite well (unlike the ones that attach to the strut top nuts and damage the struts) and can be fitted in minutes. Installation only requires drilling a few holes and using supplied selftap fasteners. Bar is supplied in a durable epoxy paint finish with hardware. One installation tweak is if you have the front struts off the car (so that the underside of the tower is accessible) use nuts, bolts and washers for a slightly more secure mounting, but the standard screw mounting will work for most installations. Supplied color is red. Front Strut Brace Contour/Cougar

Adjustable Front Camber/Caster Kit There is only limited adjustment for alignment (toe only) on the Contour cars. Incorrect alignment specifications cause accelerated tire wear and less than desirable handling characteristics. Vehicle lowering beyond recommended ride height, setting up a car for competition use, adjusting for left/right variation, and correcting collision damage are all valid reasons for needing adjustable camber/caster; which as stock the Contour does not offer. We offer these handy kits which use a offset eccentric top mount and plate design for precise camber and caster adjustment. Once installed, adjustment is made by removing the top plate lock and simply inserting a 3/8" rachet and extension into the top plate and turning (with the weight off the suspension). Caster and camber relation will be determined by the location of the strut shaft and is infinitely adjustable within a range, depending on position it is possible to change camber (only), caster (only) or a combination of camber and caster. Kits are sold each, one is kit required per side. It is possible to use only one side especially when correcting for tolerance issues. Adjustable Front Camber/Caster Kit (each)

18 Air Filter Kits
We are pleased to announce our new line of high performance cone air filter kits and components for the V6 Contour cars. This range of filters has options from fairly basic types (highly functional & inexpensive) to higher end filters which incorporate new design features like internal air flow enhancing shapes and remote air connections. These filters yield very tangible effects for a minimum cost and can be made even more effective when combined with exhaust upgrades or other efficiency type modifications.
Performance Cone Air Filter Kit This is a great performance air filter kit at a price everyone can afford. The BAT Performance Filter Kit combines all the components needed to replace the stock air box/filter on V6 powered Contours and Cougars with a free flowing cone type filter. Benefits with this type of cotton gauze filter are reduced air restriction, increased filter area and repeat clean-ability (filter should last a lifetime). As stated elsewhere in our "filter tech" section, these filters offers plenty of bang for the buck and should be considered as a first modification. Kit includes: cone filter w/mounting clamp, air meter filter adaptor, gasket & mounting hardware. Note: cars with inlet air temperature (IAT) sensor in the stock air box (non SVT's) require K22R - IAT Relocation Kit (see below). Performance Cone Air Filter Kit K22C1 $74.00 Air Filter Clean / Re-oil Kit M22C $13.95
Reverse Cone Air Filter Kit Similar to the above basic cone filter kit but with a reverse cone filter on the end offering slightly more filter area and air flow capacity. Kit combines all the components needed to replace the stock air box/filter on V6 powered Contours and Cougars with a free flowing cone type filter. Benefits with this type of cotton gauze filter are reduced air restriction, increased filter area and repeat clean-ability (filter should last a lifetime). Kit includes: cone filter w/mounting clamp, air meter filter adaptor, gasket & mounting hardware.

Air Inlet Pipe We now offer a large diameter air inlet pipe that replaces the rubber bellows between the air meter and throttle body on the V6 Duratec engines. Not only does our Air Inlet Pipe look nicer (Jethot coated silver) but it does have better airflow characteristics than the stock rubber part. Air pipes are designed to fit the SVT with either standard air filter or aftermarket cone type filters. These may also be fitted to non SVT cars with V6, however, one of the ports is not used (requires a plug) and they will not fit with the stock air box (only aftermarket filters). When using our ITG air filters (see above) a slightly shorter 100mm element is required for proper fit. Silicone hose and clamps are included with Air Inlet Pipes. Note: pipes are redesigned (as of 9/01) with a larger port for the ACT sensor which puts the sensor in the air stream and simplifies installation. Air Inlet Pipe (SVT)

Dual Mass Crank Damper Used on the latest Mondeo 2.5L V6 Duratec engines these "Dual Mode Dampers" reduce vibrations at a more than one frequency. The part looks much like the standard crank damper with a second mass ring pressed on the front, hence dual mode (two dampers). When installed the final result is really quite amazing. The engine feels smoother and more refined, especially above 4000 RPM where the secondary mass comes into play. We would recommend this part to anyone who uses the upper part of the rev range on a regular basis and wants to help extend their engines longevity. As far as piece of mind goes, if Ford decides re-engineer a part it might be to address a possible problem which in this case makes upgrading even more worthwhile. Replace the belt when installing the damper- our price on replacement drive belts can't be beat at only $17.50. Dual Mass Crank Damper (V6 Duratec) Attatching Bolt for Damper Serpentine Drive Belt

V6 Water Pump with Metal Impeller Water pumps on Duratec V6 engines are prone to failure around 50,000 miles (some with as little as 30K). The problem lies with their plastic impellers which have been known to crack on the shaft (stops turning) or even disintegrate all together. Either way, lack of water flow causes the engine to over heat. The worst part is the temp. sensor won't tell the gauge to read hot until it's far too late and the engine is ruined. Don't let this happen to you. Replace the pumps before 50K. We have sourced a premium quality replacement water pump with a cast metal impeller that has proven to be more reliable.

High Performance Oil Filter System The Canton Mecca spin on filter system is the finest oil filter available for your engine. CM filters combine typical spin-on filter convenience with canister filter performance. A machined billet aluminum housing accepts a proprietary high flow replaceable element. Simply remove (spin-off) the filter assembly, remove the end plate (accessing the element), swap in a new element cartridge, reassemble and spin-on. How is a CM filter different? The filter uses a replaceable "depth filtration" element made of woven synthetic fibers. Millions of intertwined passages catch contaminants and provide superb flow characteristics. CM elements filter out particles down to 8 microns and have a flow rate greater than paper "surface area" filters without the need for a bypass valve (full flow all the time). Depth filtration filters last longer (as much as 10,000 miles) because of greater area to catch contaminates without restriction oil flow. If you care to have the absolute best oil filter system available this it the one to have. Also consider that once you own filter the cost of replacement elements are not really much more than premium type spin-on filters and since the elements do not need to be replaced as often the CM system pays off over time.

Accusump Oil Accumulator There have been some cases of Duratec V6 engine bearings being burned up due to lack of oil pressure during hard cornering. We can not confirm that this problem will effect all engines, but we can recommend the best prevention. The most effective way to protect wet sump engines from lack of oil pressure situations is to fit a Accusump oil accumulator. The Accusump remotely stores a volume of oil (in this case 1 quart) under pressure to supplement the engines oil system during maneuvers that cause fluctuations in oil pressure such as hard cornering, braking and acceleration.. If the engines oil sump pick-up becomes uncovered the Accusump will discharge (for up to 20 seconds) supplying oil pressure until the oil supply to the pump is returned. Discharged oil is returned to the Accusump when normal oil pressure resumes. An added benefit is the unit also pre-oils the engine by supplying oil pressure before start-up. Accusump mounts remotely in the engine bay and is electrically controlled with a solenoid valve wired to the ignition switch. This supplies oil through hose to the oil filter location to an adaptor mounted between the block and the filter. This is the oil input to the engine on non oil cooler equipped cars (pictured). For oil cooler equipped cars (most SVT's) we can supply components to run the oil supply directly to one of the engine block oil galleys.
Accusump Kit $435.00 includes 1 quart cylinder (size12" x 3 1/4"), electric valve, hose- 6' length Aeroquip FC333, Aeroquip fittings (1) straight (1) 90 degree, Mocal sandwich adaptor and fittings.
High Performance Oil Cooler We supply the same high efficiency laminar water to oil heat exchangers that are currently being used throughout the racing industry. The Laminova oil heat exchanger consists primarily of two pieces of extruded aluminum profiles, the core and the shell. The inner surface of the core is optimized for efficient water flow rates, low pressure drop and minimum risk of fouling. The outer surface of the core is optimized for maximum liquid (oil) to surface contact, laminar flow, low pressure drop and high heat transfer. The assembly of both sections is sealed with o-rings, ensuring that the unit is resistant to vibration and pressure pulsation. The Laminova cooling concept can be best described as an almost infinite number of interconnected laminar cooling fins. Each fin is 3mm in height by only 0.2mm thick. The oil flow gap between the fins is 0.3mm. By this arrangement the oil flow is continuously interrupted and restarted after an optimized flow length. An added advantage is the coolers ability to deaerate oil that passes through the unit. These small and efficient devices mount easily in modern cluttered engine compartments. Our Duratec V6 kit includes a 90mm Laminar Cooler with 5/8" hose fittings designed to plumb in the engine heater coolant circuit with a Mocal sandwich plate that mounts between the block and oil filter to facilitate oil flow to and from the cooler. We also supply Aeroquip hose and fittings for plumbing the oil lines. Note: some SVT's are factory equipped with a water to oil circulator between the block and filter. This "doughnut" type of oil cooler is limited in its capabilities and would be better replaced with one of our Laminar Oil Cooler Kits.

Baffled V6 Oil Pan New 03 Duratec oil pans offer additional baffling for improved oil control. We can't come out and say that this is the answer to oil related engine failure in the 2.5L V6 engines, but it is interesting for Ford to make changes to the 2003 version of the oil pan while holding the party line "there is no problem". We all know automobile manufacturers are extremely reluctant to spend money re engineering parts unless there is an issue that requires attention. Is this an admission on their part? Take it all for what you may - here is the latest specification oil pan kit that includes all the components required for installation (pan, drain plug, gasket, and fastening hardware). Only time will tell if this version of the pan is the definitive answer to the Duratec's oil related problems, but at less than $250.00 you get quite a bit for your money and it should be considered a cheap insurance/upgrade.

Torque Biasing Differential Quaife torque biasing differentials provide a constant and infinitely variable output to both front wheels. These unique differentials utilize a series of helical gears which sense the amount of applied torque and adjust automatically for loss of traction. The Quaife limited slip design is also free of high wear items (clutches, ratchets and plates), making them stronger and more maintenance free than other types of limited slip units. Anyone who has had the pleasure of driving a vehicle equipped with a Quaife LSD will immediately comment on its smooth seamless performance while getting the power down, very unlike clutch/plate type LSD's which exhibit a notchy ratchet like take up through the drive line. Quite simply the finest limited slip unit available for the MTX75 type transaxle, and a highly recommended upgradeforall 5-speed equipped Contour/SVT/Mystique, Mondeo and Cougar cars being using the car for motorsports or other high stress applications. Cars equipped with either the upcoming supercharger kits will most definitely require a Quaife, as torque steer and the standard differentials inherent weakness will surely become problem.

Torco MTF is a specially designed low viscosity synthetic based gear oil product that replaces ATF in manual transmissions and transaxles. The increased performance Torco MTF offers equates to less friction and heat for extended bearing and syncro life, better shift quality (especially when cold) and greatly extended life over standard ATF fluids. Torco is endorsed by many Indy car and drag racing teams and is highly recommended by racing transaxle manufacturers Hewland and Quaife. We could not agree more and stand behind Torco being the very best synthetic MTF product available at any price and it will greatly improve the shift "feel" of Ford's (known to be balky) MTX75 transmission. Shifting becomes light and precise, almost like a tune-up in a bottle. Note: MTX75 transmissions will require 3 quarts (5.5 pint capacity).

Replacement Contour Head Lamps 1998-2001 The head lamps on the later 1998 and newer Contours are not as prone lens yellowing, where the plastic actually becomes opaque, but they are not without their problems.

Head lamps are supplied as complete assemblies with bulbs and are DOT certified O.E. type replacements. These are a cost effective alternative to the expensive 200.00 lamps at the Ford dealer.
