Default Springs and shocks on a fox

Hey guys, im thinkin about getting a set of springs for the mustang, they are supposed to drop it 1.5 inches. Also when getting these im picking up a set of kyb shocks ( 6 pieces) . I already have C/C plates and it will be aligned immediatly after.

How much will the drop affect my car? Is there anything else that would need to be done, front or rear end ? I realize I can't fit as big of tires in there...

If i want to put slicks on this later on, what are my options? Small *** slicks or get some sort of adjustable control arms/shocks to increase clearance.

i've seen lately people coming in with drop springs( more than an inch to 3 inches)and having severe bump steer. you'll want to look at maybe a bump steer kit or if not that you'll have to re adjust your rack pinion angle, spindle angle, and tie rod length/angle

I bought 2" drop spindles. That the best way to avoid geometry problems. I got lowering springs for a convertible. Its supposed to drop the rear more than the front... usually weird looking however when factoring in the 2" drop in the front I hope that it works out!!!!!!!!!! just passing along my idea
