Default M-5300 spring differences????

I tried looking around but didnt find anything. Whats the differences in the Ford Racing M-5300 springs??? Are there different drops between the B,C,D,F,G's? If so what is what? Heres what Im talking about specifically http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...atalogId=10002 Im looking between a 1-1.5" drop max, less is better with my case for collector to ground clearance. Any other suggestions that would be in my drop range with a price range close to $200?

The D is actually M-3000-D, and is intended for serious drag racing only, not street use.

B- lowers front 1.125", rear 0.75", spring rate front 425/530, rear 200/300.
C- lowers the same, spring rate front 650, rear 200/300.
F- coupe only, not sure on lowering (but think about .5" more than B/C), spring rate front 460/570, rear 170/310.
G- vert only, not sure on lowering (see F), spring rate front 500/570, rear 170/310.

Looks like most of the differences are in the spring rates. It should also be noted that the lowering measurements would be off of stock '95-'04 springs ('79-'94 is different, I answered based on your sig), and YMMV.

Well thanks for basing it off of the sig, since thats the car getting them lol. I already went ahead and ordered the C's, hopefully they give it the stance and look I want while keeping the headers off the ground.
