Default 1986 5.0 Vert - few questions

1 week into owning the 1986 LX 5.0 Convertible: New ball joints, balanced wheels, flushed cooling system, new plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, ignition coil, alternator, battery, clean throttle body, air filter, "fixed" hydrolic system for power top, cooling temp sending unit, headlight switch, fresh oil w/ lucas, oil filter and under hood light.

Next steps go as follows

1. Front passenger coil spring is cracked at the base and needs to be replaced. I have looked into OEM replacements and have considered ford racing B and C springs. I don't want to "slam" the car but would like to more or less level it out. An inch or so drop couldn't hurt but I would like to keep the overall original look and feel of the car. Recommendations?

2. The passenger side fog light looks like it caught a rock and shattered the glass. In my searches I have learned these things are crazy hard to find and when you do... DAMN expensive. I don't have to have the exact original lights, just close to the original look. Unless one of you have an original light you would like to sell Any recommendations on replacements?

as for payment to helping me, here is a picture of my two stangs
