Struts/Shocks for PP springs?

[Mustangcol]

Making another thread because I feel like this isn't really related to my other thread. I've got a Mustang GT non-PP and I'm upgrading the suspension. Maybe I will do 1-2 track days per year, mostly curvy mountain roads here. Ride height is a huge issue here, I actually can't enter some parking garages of malls at stock ride height (I tried last night, the resonator hits the ramp and I didn't want to go further lol). The roads are bad. I was thinking to do GT350 springs which drops it 3/8" front and rear then bring it back up with spacers. But now I'm thinking it's better/easier I do performance package springs which are a little stiffer than the non-PP. Get some struts/shocks that match them, and then larger sway bars from GT350.

Can I do the Ford track strut/shocks with these springs or its overdamped for the PP springs?
If not, can anyone help me out with the part numbers for the oem PP strut/shocks?
Would it make sense to do camber plates? maybe more camber would be helpful.

So far i've got on order:
BMR Rear LCA Bearing
Ford Performance Tow Links
Ford Performance Tow Link bearings
BMR CB005
Ford Performance Control Arms
Ford Performance Strut Brace

I imagine this will sort me enough for some beginner track days and if I want more, I can look into different springs or whatever.

Update, I'm looking on Rockauto and came up with these numbers based on 20" wheels and coupe:

Front OEM / Interchange Numbers: AST18196, FR3Z18124J
Rear OEM / Interchange Numbers: ASH24645, FR3Z18125M

The price is really good, $361 shipped+tax

Ford GT350/GT500 36mm sway bar with bushings/brackets FR3Z5482J
Hotchkins 2015+ 25mm adjustable sway bar
Performance Pack Springs

Steeda Front Camber Plates, I'll adjust to -2 camber

Looks like a little more than $1000 shipped. I think with my before mentioned mods I would be in good shape. Just looking for confirmation on part numbers and thoughts. Once this stuff is shipped to Colombia, there's no going back.

Gt 350 - 194 lb front springs, Ford Racing track struts, front control arms, stock rear springs, Koni action shocks, Hotchkiss 25 mm rear bar on firmest setting, GT350 front sway bar, PP2 alignment specs and you are good to go. Stock ride height, quicker turn in steering, flat cornering and no scraping. I put this on may car and swear by it for street use and I drive a lot on country roads.
Just do it, you won't be disappointed, I love this set up. I have worked on a number of Mustangs over the years and this is my favorite street setup.

It didn't drop with the GT350 front springs? what number do you have?

I'm copying @steathv set up. After thinking it through, it makes sense. It seems like the FRPP track shocks would be overdamped for PP rear springs so I went bilstein shocks. GT350 front sway, and adjustable rear sway to adjust over/understeer.

GT350 front springs FR3Z-5130-K 194lbs/in with FRPP M-18001-AG Track Struts
Performance Pack Rear Springs 728lbs/in with Bilstein B6 Shocks 24253611
GT350 Front Sway Bar FR3Z-5482-J
BMR Adjustable Rear Sway Bar SB045H
BMR CB005 Lockout
BMR Rear LCA Bearing
FP Tow Link Bearings
FP Tow Link
FP Front Control Arms
FP Strut Tower Brace
2018+ Active Exhaust
Resonator Delete H-Pipe
Falken FK520L 255/40r19 Tires

I'll probably end up with a little rake, but I'll have it installed and see how it goes. I imagine the springs are stiffer and will stay higher in the travel so maybe it won't be bad. I'll drive it like that, if it's fine, I can get BMR camber plates for $190 shipped to Colombia from amazon and run -2 camber. I feel like I'll be done after this
