I don't have the P/N, I just went through Summit & purchased what they recommended.

Mine are yellows & adjustable.

The orange version are not adjustable.

I used the FRPP "B" springs.

Any of the pivot bushings will add nothing, they are direct replacements geometry-wise.

The Spring Isolators are roughly the same thickness as the OEM rubber units, so they do not add height. Some guys leave out the isolators to gain 1/4" of additional drop. But that leaves a metal-to-metal condition between the suspension to the frame. This will make for added road noise and can possibly wear out some components earlier.

I'm sorry man. I feel like a major butthole. I'm 99% sure that this kit will work well with your setup: http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-c...kit-50-94.html but if you want to do something custom, I can help you piece it together. (I'd probably just PM you my cell phone number and I could explain it all to you over the phone)

It shouldn't, unless the factory rubber bushings are so worn out that it's causing the car to sag.
