You mean wrong subforum?

Per the Ford Racing parts catalog (www.fordracingparts.com), an SVT suspension will work between a 2000 and 2005. It's only 2006 and after that there was a substantial change.

Aside from about a 0.5" lowered height, the SVT suspension will give you a firmer ride and better handling -- all without really sacrificing daily driving comfort.

If you get the complete kit, you'll have everything except you may need the 2004 front control arms which have slightly smaller diameter ball joints. Or drill out your current ones and buy some bolt-on Moogs. Except for the ball joint issue, my 2007 ZX3 has a 2004 SVT suspension/brake setup (with a bunch of other stuff) which gives me more options under the car.

Cant you get that conversion kit from massive that makes evry kit pre 06 fit 06-08? and I felt a great improvment over the sportlines I had befor the SVT kit. Great kit for the money and a daily driver.
