I would look into some 1994 to 1998 convertable mustang springs. It will drop your car at least 1 inch in the front. the back will need something more spiffy. If you look into http://www.coolcats.net under the tech section and look into suspension it wil show you alot of stuff that you can do. Do not cut your springs. It will bounce funny.

cutting your springs is dangerous and frankly, stupid.

i think the biggest 4 lug wheel you are gonna find to fit the tbird would be the 17" 93 cobra wheels.
