RE: springs..???

many performance springs are progressive rate which means the more they compress they stiffer they get. Linear rate springs, like stock, are the same stiffness thruout their range.

How much of a drop are you looking to go? 1" ? if so look into FRPP's springs, pretty reasonable priced and have a 3/4" drop. check out mustangsuspension.com for a lot of options.
