I just put BBk upper/lower CA's, BBk progresive rate drop springs and rear shocks. I'm not a big fan of lowered foxes. I prefer 18" wheels to fill the wheel gap. But I have to say it is a nice stance now.
IMO It was nice doing all at once since you have to remove the lower control arms when you do the springs. So If your dropping the rear end for the CA's why not pop in some springs? I also replaced my stock exhaust so I cut out the OE cat back and that made alot more room for accessing the uppers.
My buddy just did his too and he posted some pics with the drop. His ID is sqrlnts and he added pics to a pre existing thread something about "5.0 with mustang 2 performance" The pics are one of the last few replies.

I got my CA's and springs from brothers performance and I was impressed how beefy they were over stock and I felt that they were pretty affordable.

Hope it helps.

Go to texashotrods.com they use a great company for suspension mods, they have a lot of different variations to fit what you need. Personally if you are going to do upper and lowers, I say do the coil over thing while you are at it. You do not have to lower your car to get good handling out of it. My car is not at all set up for street driving but you would be amazed at how spending some cash undernesth your car pays off. BBk btw makes a good kit, Steeda also a good one Momentum Motorsport I believe is a name too that makes good stuff. Good luck
