Mustang GT/V6 Vert. 1994-2004400 (linear)185 (linear, solid axle) There's a comparison of the spring rates (in pounds/inch). Springs like the Eibach pro-kit don't raise the spring rates much, so the stock dampers (shocks/struts) can do an OK job of damping the spring oscillations, but when you bump up the spring rate by as much as 90%, the stock shocks and struts just aren't going to be able to effectively damp the springs.

I'd recommend going to stangsuspension.com and talking to someone on their "Live Help" feature. They sell a bunch of different setups and should be able to point you in the right direction.

Generally, people don't go any bigger than 9" on the front. That's what the '03 Cobras had, and that's where those control arms came from. I'm not saying it's "not possible," but usually people go with a 9" or less on the front and the deep dish 9.5"/10"/10.5" on the back.
