To answer your question I don't know.
But I think C springs are what is on the Capri. I know they are FMS springs.

5300-c springs should fit fox cars and sn95 car's..
I actually didnt know you could put them on SN95s, I have used 5300-c springs in the past on a 87..

I've asked this question before and got different responses. I know it is possible to put the bullit springs/shocks into the fox, and is very popular, however, those are lowered from the factory.
I've asked this same question before, and people told me that I would not want to do it. From what I understand, it will raise the height of your car. I know they are progressive rate springs too, so not sure how that would effect it if you cut them.

According to http://www.fordracingparts.com the 5300-C springs fit Mustangs from 79-03 except for the 99 & 01 Cobra.
They also should lower a stock V8 7/8" in the front and 1/2" in the rear.
this will raise mine back up a good inch to inch and a half. But If I don't like the new ride quality, I can always cut these a little bit, or put mine back in.

I'm using Bullitt Springs with Koni Shocks/Struts... I like the ride...
Old Heavyweight Large Body Platform, two Muscle powered feet, that get traction from a set of size 12 generic shoes. Needs alot of bodywork, and hard to start in the morning... Used to be alot faster, but now does the 1/4 in 330sec at 2.7 mph.
I have C springs on my '88. They lower the car way more than they advertise.
WIth that said, i don't like em. They ride too stiff and the front is lower than the rear
