lowering the front only

Personally, I think springs should be matched front and rear. It would help keep handling and turns smoother. It seems you don't want to lower the car very much- have you considered the Bullitt/Mach 1 spring kit? IIRC it lowers the front 7/8" and about the same in the rear.

I dont think any of the "name brand" spring companies sell fronts only. You'd have to look through the classifieds and find someone selling the front pair only. However, I saw earlier today that 5.0 Resto sells Bullitt/Mach 1 springs individually, so that might be an option. I'll keep an eye out for you.

I bought my springs from www.stangsuspension.com - they have a pretty good selection of springs and whatnot. I have their own brand (2" drop) on my car and it's not as harsh of a ride as I'd thought it would be. I know you don't want that much of a drop, but maybe check out their sport kit. They're also cheaper than the other guys
