Ok so initially i wanted to do coilovers on my car but for whatever reason, i dont have the clearance to do so. What im looking for though is some drop springs that will give me kind of a "raked" stance. im not trying to go for the joe-dirt look, just something fairly subtle. does anyone know of some springs like that

Eibach Pro-Kit. Nice rake stance. Mine are like brand new, less then 1k on them. I'm switching to coil overs so i'll be selling them shortly.

B-springs will give a slight rake too. And they're cheaper than Eibach's!

Do you want to drop the nose or raise the rear? If you don't want to buy new springs to accomplish a "rake", maybe these spacers are the answer for you.

But be warned... the guy selling them is a real asswipe to deal with. I know from experience.

Definitely the Eibach Pro Kit...honeslty i don't really like it...i've had them on my car for a few years now and for a while i thought it was just my car and that they would settle down in the back, but to this day it's raked just like they were the first day i installed them. I think i'm probably going back to shorty headers (probably equal lengths) and switching to the Sportlines for a little lower/level stance.

I never thought i'd say this but damn i really like that brown color lol. What secs you got on those rims? 10's in the rear? Before i bought my eibach's i was looking into saleen springs but couldn't find any... Did you actually find race craft 87-93 or did you use the 94-2004 springs? Cause i could find the new mustang springs but not for a fox....

Thanks, yeah 18x10 DD rims in the back. I bought these used, not sure what year they are, but they are red if that makes a difference.

Yeah i have no idea either if color makes a dif? I know you can install the 94-2004 but i'm not sure what that would look like. Unless thats what you got haha. But either way the stance looks good. Got any rubbing issues? The front and rear stick out quite a bit!

The tires don't actually stick out, but the fronts come out to the fender, the rears are about 1/4" from the edge of the fenders. The fronts rub on the fenders on bumps, the rears only rub on hard turns.
