It's interesting how good tires might change this dynamic . . .
Secondarily, I remember the control-blade rear as being very difficult to lower for some reason--it might have been that bushings would bind as the car got closer to the ground, which would serve to prop the car up . . .

Here are a couple of pictures. The rear suspension has the SVT set-up with Massive Speed Systems adjustable camber and toe links, Eibach (soft) springs, and Koni adjustable shocks. I'm sure Ron is right about the roll center migration. Also, I was low on fuel and the tank is located low on the passenger side, so more fuel weight would have been good ballast.
