I replaced the front springs on mine after one of them broke, and the front of the car sat up by about two inches. I think they'd just sagged down after holding the car up for 40 years. Of course, after waiting a while for them to settle down (they didn't) I cut about 1 coil off because i actually like the lwoer look...

I've got the Bilsteins on the front, and like them quite a bit. I got some 'Jamex' (?) Mustang shocks on the rear. Gas pressure, sort of like a cheap knock-off Bilstein design. Dirt cheap, has the correct attachment styles on either end and the proper length, works wonderfully.
