Some good Mustang Aftermarkets Parts websites:

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/
http://www.americanmuscle.com/
https://cervinis.com/

There are many others, but I use these alot. Go get your self a "5.0 Mustang and Superfords" magazine, plenty of adds with lots and lots of aftermarket.

About the springs and shock:
If you just put springs on you could overwork your shocks to hard and they could fail.
You can find some good suspension kits on these sites and others.

Ive got a '99 cobra with 17's and the Eibach spring kit, Lowered it perfectly with no rubbing issues and handles/ rides like a dream.
