The Now Lowered Redline V and its Stable Mate Happened to have the camera on me, but no time for a wash. Halfway through taking the pics I remembered I had some crappy tire shine in the trunk so I sprayed it on....not great results, but some of the pics look pretty good!
The V is now lowered with an Eibach Prokit and the 2003RC51 lowering spacers (thanks again man). It is on stock wheels with 245/45/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires. I kind of wish the lowering spacers made for a little more drop in the rear, but it still looks better then stock!
The CSVT (Ford Contour SVT) just has a Spec stage 3 clutch and lightweight flywheel. Obviously it needs the wheels powdercoated black to match :bouncy:.

That is my hope, but the spacer that was made is only for a 1" drop on the load leveling shocks and the eibach is a 1.2". I'm going to add some Mightymouse plates over the winter and get it exactly even with the front.

Looks good Skull! I dont think the spacer is the problem though. Some of the CTSV guys have had to cut half a coil on the Eibachs to make them sit even with the front. Remember, the eibachs are 1.6 front 1.2 rear. The Eibachs call for the "raked" look.

Well it's the spacer combined with the "raked" spring design. The spacer only gets me a 1" drop when the rear should have a 1.2" so it makes the rake more extreme. Cutting springs isn't for me though, so I'm going to leave it how it is and get the MM plates made (somehow) to get that extra .2".

If you have some time to kill and want to see if it is the shocks, you might just remove the lower bolt on the shocks to see if it actually lowers much more.
