Default 1992 Mustang shock/stut and spring choice

I need new springs shocks/struts. The goal for the car is to have nice street performance without getting to harsh. Would the following be a good choice? I'm going to install and check alignment before I spend the money on c/c plates.

FMS B springs
KYB GR-2 for the front
KYB Gas-a-Just for the rear

That setup would be firm without being harsh but ride quality is up to you and you won't know until you try it. It would be a decent setup.

Thanks for the input. I haven't installed any suspension parts before but I have done a lot of reading and have an extra set of hands. Pictures would be great, It would be nice to see how it will look.
