Default New Coil Springs, need help

Ok i have a 66 mustang with a 302 motor, no other add ons and the coil springs are worn out even with the locks in them, so i am upgrading... along with the rest of the steering and arms and everything, my question is will these springs work? ---> http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/ite...atKey=EMUSTANG

I like the front being low like it is with the worn out springs, so i figured getting new ones with the one inch drop would be appropriate. please let me know if these will work compared to stock springs.......Also this car is not for looks its for DRIVING and PERFORMANCE so i believe the lower front stance gives me better cornering.

Dude its only 15 bucks for the drill bit and template. If you replace the springs this is a super cheap mod that will help your handling alot!

Not really, those mods are only if you go more than 1"-1 1/8". More than that you need the other kit and stuff.

All you would need to do is a good alignment when you put her back together, but you have to do that after the spring replacement anyway.
