what is a good lowering spring for the front of a 96 mustang GT?  i would like to drop it about 1.5 inches that gap looks bad when i put my summer rims on.  also i need to replace the shocks on it too, what would be a good street/strip shock to run with?  any info would be helpful i don't know much about suspenion parts and the guys at work only know Honduh or RX-7 shizz

When I was installing my spring I thought about doing the shocks as well but I didn't have the coin for it. I believe Gravel said that Bilstein shocks would work well in my fox. I'm sure he can recommend something for your 1996. Smiley

For a drag setup, there are better people to give you info than I, all my experience is with setups where you have to use the steering wheel. Grin

The Bilstein shocks I was looking at were pricey.

It's been years but I had the Lakewood 73/30 and 50/50 on my old Mustang. Car also had eibach springs, lakewood traction action bars, and Steeda subframe connectors.  It didn't do half bad down the 1/8, but was still a comfortable drive on the street.

I used FMS C springs on my '96 all the way around and it sat perfect IMO.

I don't know about the iced tea part, but the rest is true.
