I would like to lose the 4x4 look, but im not sure what i need. At this point I cant upgrade shocks/struts, so I am wondering what set of springs would best suit my car with otherwise stock suspension. I would be happy with a little more drop in the front than back, and want my ride quality to be good. Its usually just a fun driver, and very occasional strip use. SO, what springs can i buy that will drop the car approx 1.5 in and will work with stock shocks/struts? Thanks.

I've got the Eibach Pro Kit 3510.140 with stock suspension. Ride quality is more firm than stock, and it's still comfortable. Their website says 1.1 " drop front/back, but mine have settled in around 1.6" front/1.5 rear". Barring any unexpected issues my next purchase will be MM cast/camb plates.

Ford C Springs with no iso's in the front. I kinda want the back a bit lower but I don't think there will be an easy fix for that.

Go with the Eibach Pro Kit... I had H&R SuperSports and they ended up being too low. I switched to Eibach and I'm very happy.

Yes, but not the stock ones. They were in rough shape after 10+ yrs. I bought the Energy Suspenion front & rear ones from Summit.

I have the FRPP C springs in my Fox and it gave it IMO just the right amount of drop and I didnt need CC plates for it, stock susp. I bought a set of B springs for my 96' GT and it got rid of the 4x4 look but I wish it was lower and I needed CC plates for it. It may just be me but It feels like the B springs ride better than the C's, BUT the Sn95 mustangs are 100% better in ride quality comfort than the Fox Mustangs are.
