simplexdesign,
I don't know about the sticky (there is this one https://mustangforums.com/m_934501/tm.htm, but it is specifically related to lowering your car and is 14+ pages). Now you might try checking out this thread (https://mustangforums.com/m_4943892/tm.htm) for general info, look for the posts by F1fan, Rodeoflyer, Norm Peterson, and Sam Strano (they are kind of the resident suspension guru's over there). If you can't find your answer in that thread, try and doing search for those guys posts by Author. You will likely find a HUGE amount of information at your fingertips, far more than you probably need
. You could also have this moved over to the Handling section, those guys tend to stay there from what I have seen. I know from experience that F1fan responds favorably to PM's when asked (and when you have done a search or two). But you are going to need to be specific about what you want (i.e. what is the car doing now that you don't like and what are your goals? DD? 1/4 Mile? Road Course? SCCA Solo? You get the idea 
).
Nice looking Black S197 BTW, like that Cervini's kit!
Good Luck

Good Luck!

RE: Suspension Help
I went with Eibach springs and D-Spec struts and shocks. I lowered it and have Spohn LCAs and a one piece driveshaft. I have a Spohn adjustable UCA that I will be putting in very soon. I get a good ride.
