Does anyone know where or who makes a bumpsteer kit for my ride 03 cv?
You dont need one.
Unless you plan on it riding millimeters from the ground.

Raise it up 1.5 inches you have disrupted the steering geometry on the new style rack and pinion... Probably wouldn't have affected a pre 03 with recirculating ball...

2 questions.
Did you align it after lowering it?
Did you make the mistake of installing Eibachs on it?
It is possible that you are getting bumpsteer after lowering the car 1.5". An alignment is definitely in order, but take it to someone who aligns lowered Fords. If they cannot correct it you may have to raise it back up a little. I di not know of a bumpsteer kit for our cars, but mayb the CV gang can help.

One of the first parts of a proper front alignment is checking control arm bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends for wear. A worn front end cannot be aligned until worn parts are first replaced.
