I was looking at it the other day and it appears that the front is about a half inch lower than the back..(that 80's jacked up back muscle car look) are the fronts shot, or is that the way the kit is... not as low in the back as in the front?

I kinda like that look (no, not the a$$ end sticking up 6 inches; just slightly raised). '98 SVT Red/midnight blue - a few mods E0 wheels for sale - PM me

I kinda like that look (no, not the a$$ end sticking up 6 inches; just slightly raised). That's the way mine was on my '95LX with ATX. I don't know if the ATX is heavier up front than the MTX, though. That might make a difference. "Think of it, if you like, as a librarian with a G-string under the tweed." Clarkson on the Mondeo.

They are starting to show their age, rusting, and some may be broken but im not sure. Whats your ground clearance at either side of the front bumper luca? Im at exactly 4" For reference, this picture has about 100lbs worth of beer in the trunk: Looking over some of my other pictures, all the angles I took make the rear end look super low too. The only time I feel like there is an extreme rake is when its sitting all alone in a parking lot. The BAT springs have been great for the 20k miles Ive had them, but they are starting to show their age and will be replaced with some new H & R's shortly Alex '99 SVT Contour -=\|WANTED: Vortech, working or not \|=-
