Only the rear can be lowered via the ride height sensor as we only have airbags in the rear. To lower the front you'll need to either replace the springs or cut coils off the OEM's.

How is the rear lowered via the sensor? I don't like how raked the car is from the factory. Yes it looks cool but putting all the weight transferred to the front is terrible for handling.

You will want to move the Sensor towards the Drivers Side. The Sensor is just above the Exhaust on the Driver's Side, and Connected to the Watts Link somehow.

10mm IIRC nut in a slotted hole. The linkage multiplies the action of movement in the slot. Only move the nut about 1/3 of how much you actually want it lowered. DS down, PS up.

Ive done the sensor lowering on both you speak of. On my old Mark and now the MM.. the MM is MUCH easier.. it just doesnt do anything for the front.
