Moroso trick springs should work nicely, but I would also look at upper and lower control arms.

search around for what other people have used but moroso are a decent spring there is also coilovers if u want ride height adjustment also.

and as far as the stuff summit carrys a lot of this stuff,also look in a mustang magazine and there is all kinds of places that sell suspension stuff and u/l control arms you should also be getting as the stockers are not the greatest or that strong once u start launching the **** out of the car..
