Default Mach and Cobra springs

Anyone ever used mach 1 springs in their fox? How about front cobra springs? I am about to get my hands on a set of springs from a buddy which includes to rear mach 1 springs and front cobra springs. They do work on fox's right, I am pretty sure springs will work from 79-04 minus the cobra IRS. Any input would be great. If I don't put them on my 83 to replace the cut springs I am gonna put them in my 98 to drop it down some.

79-04 are the same excluding the IRS Cobra.

you would be correct, and either way you go it'll lower the cars.

Well it would lower the 98 but it would raise my 83 some. When I cut the springs it dropped 2 1/4 inches all the way around. I like that look but I don't like scraping and hitting the rubber stops on the rear axle. Thanks
