Don't want to bruise your ego, but the search function is your friend:

https://themustangsource.com/f800/su...stions-497110/

https://themustangsource.com/f800/lo...estion-492122/

https://themustangsource.com/f802/lo...d-help-497909/

https://themustangsource.com/f669/he...ension-496554/

https://themustangsource.com/f726/lo...issues-496818/

Not saying you have to read them, but this is probably the most-asked question on this forum.

Short answer:

cheap way is just the springs

Best way is springs, shocks, and upper front strut mounts, +/- rear panhard bar.

ive had the steeda ultralites on mine for a few years now and i have yet to have a problem with the suspension. cheap way to go is just springs but if you want the best overall performance then CO_VaporGT_09 hit it right on the money with his suggestions at the bottom of his post. goodluck!

Adjustable camber plates would be a good idea with that drop. saves the tire wear.
