I would say anything Bilstein(shocks/struts) would be great...
But for budget minds I've seen people have good luck running KYB GR-2s and Gas Adjust shocks on a mild drop...
HMF313 and LiftedBronco have a fox vert with Tociko's on it I believe, they'll have some input on suspension settings for you.

well...heres the question. if you are doing the bigs and skinnies, is this a drag car? if so you would want a drag suspension id assume? We did heathers 89 as a extremely streetable setup thats still able to hold its own in a road course autocross kind of situation.
Tokico d spec's all around. FRPP a arms. 04 mach 1 coils. J&M upper and lower control arms. Replaced axle bushings with new ford rubber. J&m caster camber plates.

Never had a Fox, but my old Buick had the KYB GR-2 setup and was a HUGE improvement over stock, it made that car handle (We're talking a late 80's full size Buick)

I have Motorsport springs, KYB shocks and struts, Eibach sway bars, UPR camber/caster plates, Granetelli control arms both upper and lower, and poly bushings everywhere. I run 245/45/17 in the front and 275/40/17 in the rear. the car handles very very well, better than a few Cobras on here lol. Its set up for what I believe a street car is. The ride is firm but not bad.
You have a skinny/big set up on your car which says to me DRAG RACE. I would not try to corner in a car with skinnies up front. I dont know what your ultimate goal is, and that in the end will dictate what you need to change on your car.

Yes. To get a true alignment you have to be able to make adjustments in any and all directions. I don't think you need the quad shocks, they generally only help axel hop under hard acceleration. They also keep you from adding wider tires. I haven't had them on any of my mustangs.
Serge, I now have real tires on there too. It's pretty scary how nimble that car is.
