Hello Tim,

I am not sure about your definition of "handling," but I assume it refers 
to high speed stability.

 From my experience, a spoiler or air dam noticeably reduces an FC's 
tendency to wander in cross winds. I have also noticed about 0.25 to 0.5 
MPG improvement in fuel economy.  Lowering the front end has a lesser but 
similar effect.  The best of both worlds is to make both modifications.

Check out Ken Hand (248) 613-8586 for a 1-2" lower replacement front spring 
kit.

An air dam from a 89-92 Ford Ranger is an almost perfect fit to FC's.  A 
new one can be purchased from Brown's Of Two Rivers, Inc. (800) 558-7750. 
Part # 576-22-2 [$29.90 in their 2006 catalog]
