1988 GT
I have a pair of front Eibach sportline lowering springs (not installed) that I'd like to find some rears to roughly match. Found someone selling a set of rear lowering springs made by aFe control. The seller said they spent a short time on a 92GT (only because they decided to switch to coil overs) assuring me they'll fit a fox.

I've never heard of the brand, their website has springs for new mustangs but doesn't say anything about older.
Anyone had experience with these?

My opinion would be to match the springs you have with the same brand for the rears, some stuff are designed to work together,

Sell the fronts you have and buy a matched set.

Do not mismatch springs and rates-it is at best a poor ride and worse can be dangerous
Do it righ the first time
I like H&R and Steeda springs

I agree with what has been said. Upon further inspection it seems my car came with mismatched rears as it is! There is a spring clamp on one side creating a larger gap in one of the coils presumably to match the other side, which doesn't have the clamp and is a different spring altogether. I will be removing the clamp and changing the springs.
