So here it is, Only one day settling on the springs but it's noticeably lower.
Old Multimatic suspension,
New SVT suspension with KW lowering springs,
Old,
New,
The ride is better and the handling is good although I have not had a chance to push it hard yet.
I'm quite sure it won't handle as well as the Multimatic setup did though, That kit was amazing but kind of stiff for daily driver use.

About 3/4 inch I believe, It's been a while since I had stock suspension.

I haven't pushed it real hard yet but I did notice a slight rub turning into the street I live on but it's a really messed up turn that goes uphill wih a significant bump where the streets transition.
I'm not too worried about it.

Looks good Steve.
Now I understand why you wanted to be home installing it while you were at work Saturday

No kidding, It was about 2 1/2-3 hours to do the full install. The rear springs suck to swap out!!

I think I just heard a whole load of albino sasquatch shit blow thru here !! The power steering pressure line on the focus blows !! You can see it. You can touch it. You can actually just get a wrench on it. Now try and turn that wrench!! Once you do get it apart-if your lucky-try getting it back together!! It sure would of helped if the dam thing would of been formed correctly on the rack end! We had to reshape it in order to clear the steering plastic sheild . What a treat !!! We need to thank Steve for his fast service. We ordered the hose on Friday at 3:00 pm-Fedex was ringing our door bell at 8:05 am saturday next day. A hardy sasquatch thankyou to you sir-two hair thumbs up !!--o6designs-CATZUP
