You could buy springs OR cut them. Im pretty sure you cant buy just the front springs.

When i lowered my car I did the front first to see if I liked it. I didnt really care for it. Mustangs already have a staggered look. Ill see if I can find the pics for you.


EDIT: PICS.
just the front lowered.


Front and back lowered.


I used H&R Super Sport springs which gave me a little over 2" in the front and right about 2 in the back.
I love them.

i dont think you will like the look then you would have to find just rears and and take a lot of time and money buying them seperate if you really want to only lower the front i would recomend just buying a full kit then if you dont like it you can install the rears and if your happy with the rear looking like a 4x4 then you can sell the unused springs to someone and get some money back.

Lowering the car

Dude don't cut the springs. the ride sucks ass. I just bought a 95 that has cut springs and it sucks to drive, espeacilly when it is cold out.

I just order the Steeda sport springs. have used them in the past and loved them.

95 with cut springs:

buy some cheap FMS springs... For $140 you get all 4 then if you need the backs later you are good...
