Contour/Mystique (1995-2000) 4 and 6 cylinder
cars are all equipped with 260 x 24mm front rotors
and standard size ATE calipers.
Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard
or cross-drilled rotors are the least expensive
performance upgrade. Another option would
be to bolt on the Cougar or SVT brake set-
up, however, this requires buying calipers
and rotors (expensive). A better option is
our R/S big brake kit which allows for fitting
the larger 278mm SVT type rotors with the
standard caliper. We supply the required brackets
and hardware with cross-drilled rotors and high
BAT offers the Mintex line of high
performance Mintex 1144 pads.
performance brake products
SVT (1998 to 5/1999) cars are equipped with larger 278 x 24mm front rotors and larger ATE calipers
and pads than standard Contours. This brake arrangement is similar to what some of the 4WD
Mondeos and other Cosworth powered Ford cars used in Europe.
Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard or cross-drilled rotors are the least expensive performance
upgrade. We are also working on 4 piston caliper upgrades for use with the standard 278mm rotors as
well as 300mm large rotor and caliper brake kits.
SVT (after 5/1999) also equipped with larger 278mm front rotors but with
Cougar calipers that utilize the slightly smaller standard Contour pads
(read Cougar below).
Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard or cross-drilled rotors are the
least expensive performance upgrade. Another option is to fit the early SVT
calipers and pads, again - expensive (although we hope to have a more
reasonable source for the early calipers in the future)
Cougar (1999-2000) are a combination of standard Contour and SVT brakes.
They use the larger SVT 278 x 24mm rotors but with the standard Contour
smaller size ATE caliper using a slightly different caliper mounting bracket to
clear the larger rotors diameter. So Cougars benefit from having larger
diameter rotors for increased braking leverage but do not have the larger
M1144
pad/caliper combo from the earlier SVT. One would think this was a Ford cost
cutting measure as the big calipers are quite expensive.
Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard or cross-drilled rotors are
the least expensive performance upgrade. Another option is to fit the
early SVT calipers and pads, again...expensive and really not much of
a benefit.

Brake Compounds
Mintex 1144 is a rally/race compound is perfectly at home on track or street offering
a high coefficient of drag (.44) and excellent modulation throughout a very wide
temperature operating range (up to 1200 degrees). Mintex 1144 is unmatched in
terms of wear and fade characteristics with excellent "pedal feel". This is the brake
compound many European rally teams have used for years. No other brake related
upgrade will yield as much bang for the buck as upgrading to M1144 pads. Supplied
pre-burnished for easy break-in. For maximum effect match a set of Mintex 1144's
with our premium drilled sport rotors and Aeroquip stainless brake lines.
Mintex A/F Brake Pads are the highest quality, best performing, standard
replacement pads available for Contour cars. Mintex brand A/F "Abestos Free" semi-
metallic linings operate over a wide temperature range with very little fade or brake
dusting. These basic Mintex "street" pads actually outperform other manufacturers
"performance" pads (most notably) PBR/Axis Metal Master a recent national
magazine test. In the under $50.00 a set category Mintex A/F has everything beat.
European E1/90 approved.
Hardware Kits BAT can supply a full range of brake hardware for the ATE type front calipers (slide
pins, bushings, load springs) see next page for front brake parts listing.

Front Brake Hardware
We carry a full line of replacement brake hardware for the ATE Teves type front calipers used on the Contour.
This single piston sliding pin design is popular with many foreign car manufacturers (BMW, Ford, VW), and for
the most part is pretty foolproof, however they have been known to have occasional problems- usually hardware
related as we will cover below. Caliper Slide Pins can be a problem when the
pins become rusty or pitted and does not move freely within the
bushing. Inspect the pins finish and replace as needed. Caliper
Bushings are made of rubber and are sensitive to heat causing less
than optimal pin bushing clearance which has been known to
cause a slight vibration (usually felt through the brake pedal)
when the brakes are applied lightly. Sometimes customers are
convinced the brake rotors are wrapped when only the caliper
bushings require replacement. We usually recommend refreshing
the caliper bushings when changing pads to keep everything
optimized. Caliper Springs serve both to locate and tension the caliper/pad
assembly as well as anti-rattle duty. They usually hold up pretty well as long as they don't get bent up too badly
or lost on removal. We don't usually replace them with every pad change, rather every other- say 60,000 miles
or so. All parts packaged to service 1 caliper, two of each part are required to both sides.

12345678901
Rear brakes on the Contour/Cougar cars can also be confusing. If your 1995-2001
car is rear disk equipped they are 253 x 20mm vented rotors and all use one size
rear pad. Rear drum equipped 1995-96 cars are equipped with 203 x 38mm (8")
rear drums, but 1997-2001 cars are a mix of the 203 x 38mm (8") and larger 228 x
45mm (9") drums. This is probaibly a manufacturing supply issue when the cars
were built and the only way to determine which rear drum/shoe set is on you
car is to check before ordering parts. Performance upgrades for rear disk
equipped cars would be to go with the Mintex pads and cross-drilled rotors
and for rear drums upgrade to Mintex lined rear shoes.

Rotors
BAT inventories a selection of rotors to satisfy both the performance minded
as well as the budget oriented customer.
Econo Rotors
Consistent high quality that meets or exceeds all O.E. specifications, and
although these rotors are inexpensive they are considerably better than
the usual "white box" specials commonly found at discount parts stores.

Front Econo Rotor 260x 24mm
K425
28.00ea.
Rear Econo Rotor 253 x20mm
K425R
25.00ea.
Premium European Rotors- Standard & Cross Drilled
Our European Group-N rally specification rotors are made from "Carballoy"
(a medium flake graphite fully pearlitic low phosphorous iron)
manufactured to BS 1452 - 1990 grade 180/220 standard. Which equates
to longer life with more resistance to warping which is so common with
lesser quality (Ford as well as other offshore low budget type) rotors.
Looking for more of an upgrade? Cross-drilling brake rotors is an
excellent way to increase brake performance. Theory being that
centrifugal force will draw excess brake dust and expelled gasses
from the pad surface through the drilled passages into the rotors
vented cavity and out. This process also improves rotor cooling
giving improved braking response and resistance to fade. The
cross drilling process is handled by computer CNC milling
equipment with holes arranged in a parabolic pattern giving an even
sweeping effect to the pad surface ensuring maximum cooling with
minimum noise and drag. All holes (drillings) are radiused to minimum
thickness then rotors are rebalanced as the final process.

Large Rotor Brake Kits- Front
These kits allow fitment of larger (278mm) SVT front
brake rotors to cars normally equipped with standard
(260mm) rotors. Increasing rotor "swept area" in this
way will greatly improve stopping power (leverage) and
help to reduce high brake temperatures that can cause
premature brake fade and poor pedal feel.
Kits include: 278 x 24mm EBC sport (groove &
dimple) or standard front rotors, Mintex 1144 high
performance or MIntex A/F street front brake pad
set, custom caliper mounting brackets (utilizes
standard caliper) & assorted hardware (fitment with

Focus SVT Brake Components
With the release of the Focus SVT comes a plethora of
performance parts just waiting to be swapped into other Ford
models. We have plans to incorporate Focus SVT 300mm
front rotors into a number of new brake kits we have in
development. As for now we can offer some of the
components to the DIY-ers out there who have been bugging
us to release the parts. Our future offerings will include
brackets to fit standard Contour type calipers and kits with
lightweight aluminum calipers.

BAT competition brake hoses incorporate a stainless braid
exterior over a teflon interior to keep line expansion "flexing"
to a minimum. This greatly reduces the "spongy" pedal feel
common with standard rubber brake hoses. Our stainless
lines are assembled from genuine Aeroquip AN-3 hose with
premium (DOT approved) swage ends installed. All hoses
include O.E. strut mount bushings and any required "bumpers"
for a proper secure fit. Front hoses fit all Contour models,
rears fit all with rear disk brakes (see model years) we also
include the special strut mount bushings.

Suspension TECH 123456789012
123456789012
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 95-
97 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 98-
99 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.

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 (95-
97) 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.
