Default Questions about coilovers?

Hey guys i just got a stock 1993 lx 5.0 for my first car and Im pretty excited. Ive been looking into suspension mods, and im definately gonna get subframe connectors, and i also want some coilovers. These were the ones i was looking at http://m.uprproducts.com/mustang-blue-front-rear-coil-over-package.html first question is what spring rate/length should i use? I want the ride to be decent as im not a race car driver and the car is my daily. Second off, does this kit come with everything i need (other than caster/camber plates?) I see it comes with shocks/struts but i have read the mustang forums and these people are all saying they run these coilovers with different struts. Arent the struts that come with it part of the coilover, or can you swap them out with different shocks/struts? Basically im just confused. If the package comes with everything i need then i will probably buy them. Also ik they arent the super expensive nice ones but idc i dont have the money for the super pro ones lol. I just wanna be able to lower my car and have a little bit better handling. Thanks!

If all you want is to be lowered and better handling then just get some springs and new shocks/struts. Coilover setups are cool, but really unless you are planning on a lot of track time and being as competitive as you can they are complete overkill 97% of the time.
