I just lowered my car with Ford Racing B Springs and put in some Bilstein shocks and struts. When I did the cc plates the instructions said the spacers were suppose to be one small below and 2 large and 1 small on top. This is a pick currently with my car lowered and the plates in. Could someone tell me if I did this properly? I feel like it's not right. It's an easy change since I have not done an alignment yet, so I could do this change rather quickly.

judging by the pictures, you set up the spacers for stock ride height.. I had to dig my c/c plates from my closet (havent installed them yet),
and look at the instructions. MM says "For cars at stock ride height: 2 long spacers and 1 short spacer below the spherical bearing, and
1 above."
"For lowered cars: install 1 short spacer below the spherical bearing, and 2 long and 1 short above. "

So take your current 3 spacers underneath and switch places with the 1 on top. You will have more strut visable this way, but
according to MM, this is the correct installation method.

I wanted to update my post because I did indeed install the spacers improperly. I called MM and they explained to me that I need to place the jack under the ball joint, but I originally just put it towards the bottom of the A-arm. Thus, the MM instructions are correct.
