Default Looking for information on a 1978 rallye package

I just bought a 1978 Mustang and while going through the car I figured out that it was an original Rallye package car from the 302 motor with the black and gold interior. I need to replace the suspension but I also understand that the package came with a heavier suspension. Should there be any specific parts like maybe the springs that I should look for to rebuild it as original?

Well, the spring rates for the Ralleye, Cobra II, and Stallion were supposed to be different from the other cars, but most parts catalogs only list one or two part numbers for front springs for the IIs and those are usually based on either engine or whether or not it had A/C. If you're going to replace those, get the best ones you can find (such as a catalog listing for V8 w/ A/C).
