The 1990 GT I picked up a few months ago has lowering springs and I can tell its a bit low, not too much. What is the process for un lowering the car? is there aftermarket springs to replace the lowering springs to make it worth while? I'm worried about having less tire choices with the car being lower.

You could order stock replacement springs . Plenty of guys including myself are pretty low with 17inch wheels and tires with minimal effort .

No different than installing any other spring once you find some OEM replacement springs.

Years ago, you could order Bullitt springs from Ford that would offer a more OE ride-height, but still give you some performance. Long discontinued though, but I found a set for my car as I didn't want to be lowered any more.

I have a set of stock springs in my garage I'd be willing to part with for a fair price.

depending on how much you need to raise the car, if it does not have poly spacers on the top and bottom of the spring, reinstalling them will add around 1/2"
