Don't really have a clue about this subject, but i know i want to lower my fox. My fox still has all the stock stuff and it's time for me to change it out. So what do you guys recommend for a dd fox?
Shocks, Struts and spring combo?

i have kyb shocks and struts on both my mustangs.a hatch with c springs and a coupe with the eiabach prokit.i like the pro kit better but the c spings can be had for alot less. phil
I have Steeda sport springs with stock OEM fox body struts and shocks. HPM Mega Bite Jr's LCA's mounted on the top bolt hole location. The rear was 1 inch lower on the bottom hole, but I had to raise it because the car would bottom out. There is also two 1/4" hardened spacers between the rear perch and the spring.

I have H&R Sport springs with Bilstein shocks and ajustable rear control arms. The height looks similar to the yellow car above. I like the height and look very much and the ride feels good. It may be a little stiff for a daily driver though. If I had to do it again I think I would have gone with coilovers in the front. The kits are really not that expensive any more and if it is a daily driver you can adjust the height when you need to. I think I may switch in the near future.

That looks good also.

I had the C springs and found them really harsh. I'm using them in the rear still but went to CO's in the front. I picked up more wheel rate and the ride is smoother.
Keep in mind that with stiffer springs you need to improve the shocks. If this is just a street car then I would look at one of the kits out there that match the shocks to the springs. I was auto crossing with mine so I did the adjustables. KYB AJX in the front and Koni SA in the back.
This is the best pic I have of it sitting still.
This is one on course.
