Eibach has springs to lower the front. Best place to buy them is here www.wholesalehyperformance.com (http://www.wholesalehyperformance.com ) over to the left click "Suspension", then "Springs", then "Eibach"...then scroll down and click on Mercury. A list will come up with

Lowering the rear is done with the adjustment for the rear airbags which you'll find on the driver's side wATTS link bar.
Search above using "Eibach" and you'll get lots of info. I HIGHLY recommend these springs.

Todd is right, best thing I did for the handling. I was the first one to try the Eibachs, and have had them on the longest with no complaints. Other folks are cutting the springs which no one recomends, but hey...to each their own. Lowered my car just over 1 3/4 inches if I remember. Look at the picture below, mine is the end car in the row of marauders, the other is from the track. Look at the tire and wheel wells. Makes it look better and ride better. I get complements on it all the time at shows and the track.

They're 3.73 gears...not 4.73.

You misread brother... No one has put the 3:73s on a supercharged car, I am used to being the first to try something! Its a nice comprimise between the 3:55s and teh 4:10s, I like it. And you still need to see this car at the dream cruise! If all goes well, by then it will be the 2nd 11 second Marauder around.

I barely got the 3:73s! Lidio had to talk me into it since I didnt want the 4:10s, he got me with the gears at his cost and no additional labor since he was doing my posi...so what the hell. Like I said, its a comprimise that im glad I went with.

Cut 1 turn off of your front springs like I did....I opted to go that route because "SOME", not all, members said the ride was too harsh. This is what Kenny Brown does on his non-S/C cars.
My car sits about 1" to 1-1/4" lower than stock. It is a bit higher than the Eibachs but noticably lower than stock. :D
I'm very happy with my stance....just a bit lower and still feels stock.
See my sig. :D
