Going with Viking coilovers.. what else do I need?

Hey guys, couple things:

 I have a friend who is going to give me a deal on some coilovers made by Viking Performance and they are made for a fox mustang.  These should work, correct?

I also plan to go with Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates, however; will fox mustang caster camber plates work? (more specifically UPR caster camber plates)

I'm also in need of new struts.  What struts do you recommend for an 88 Bird with coilovers?

Thanks guys.. us american muscle guys no nothing about suspension, right?  Straight lines? :burnout:

You'll have to use Thunderbird cast/camber plates as Mustang ones won't bolt in.
88 Thunderbird LX: 306, Edelbrock Performer heads, Comp 266HR cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, bunch of other stuff.

From what I'm reading, I can use 94-98 Mustang struts.  What about brake spindles?  Will the stock ones clear?  I've been reading I may need TC spindles.
