It rides a little firmer with the mustang rears,  i know what you mean about wondering if it was too low in the back, but the wheel wells are smaller in the rear so its an illusion, i put a 4 foot level on my body side mldgs, and it still had a slight rake towards the front

Drove the car more than just straight today, all I can say is that a slightly stiffer, lower rear as worth at least as much as a slightly stiffer lower front.  Cornering much better.

The V6 94-04 rear springs are a linear rate, and not progressive, so you might be feeling that.  I'd have to dig up the numbers, but I don't recall the overall spring rate being any higher on the V6 stuff, just not as soft initially.
