Default Half-way lowered (with pics)

I lowered the rear end of my car today. I couldnt do the front because my C/C plates are coming later this week.

BTW, my car looks real funny with a lowered rear and stock front.

Here are pictures of my car yesterday.(first picture)...And today after just installing the rear springs and shocks. (second picture)

So far with out any time for the suspension to seat itself n such, it is about 1.5 inches lower. It looks a lot better than stock ride height.

Im doing the install myself, with help from my dad and a backyard mechanic that we are good friends with. The only thing we really had trouble with was getting the bolt from the lower arm to the axle out because it was a little cockeyed. Not too hard though. These are sportlines also.

Will do. Standing from the back it really looks a lot lower. Makes me think why Ford made the car ride so high.

I'm sure they had a logical reason, but the car looks much more gorgeous sitting low ...
