shock/spring lowering question. Non LS.

[HyeLifeLS]

Hello.

I am going to sell my LS soon and I am going to drive my Mercury as a daily driver. This car is not anything special, but it's paid off long time ago for a lot of money (I know, no expierience buying car at that time) and I don't wanna let it go for $3-4 Gs.

Although, this model is know more as a "Mistake" rather than "Mystique" as the service advisor explained to me once at Lincoln/Mercury dealer, it has 131000 miles, I had very few minor problems, much less than the LS but, it is now running strong.

I am going to put the system and HIDs from LS back into it and I am planning on lowering it about an inch.

So my question is, if, I lower the car about an inch, do I really need to used different shocks? Do I need shorter shocks or these will do?

This car still has it's original shocks and there are no sounds or anything from the suspention.

the stock shocks should be fine, but you will suffer ride quality

Does someone actually make lower springs for the Taurus/Mistake??

If so, I guess they were for SHO owners.

Yes, there are far more aftermarket parts for these cars than for the LS. Also, this car is the same as the Contour, not the Taurus.

There are even contours/mystiques with the 3.0 V6 from taurus. There are turbo kits and all kind of stuff.
