You need spring and cc plates, shocks aren't mandatory. Check out H&R.

shocks and struts should be replaced if it has over 20k on the chassis, being a 98, I would assume thats true.

[hr]I have ford C springs, strange 10 way adjustable all around, and ford racing cc plates. Very comfortable on the road and adjustable to tighten it up if you go on a canyon run or anything like that. Good luck with whatever you get.

most people dont know, but if you buy 96-98 cobra springs they lower your car about 1" and they are thicker, tightened up my front end bigtime. Plus its a cheaper route if you find used ones in good shape. just my .02 worth.
