drifting a mustang with a 4 link suspension is gong to be a PITA. Start by bouncing the KYB crud and getting a proper drift spec (MM race spec Bilsteins or MM Koni race spec) shock/strut package.

The CC plates are the only ones I'd choose. They'll do right well.

Springs for drifting are normally pretty stout and I think you'll be less than satisfied with the Sports... super sports would probably be better.

You'll also need to really think about 4.56 gears for the drift action otherwise you'll have trouble keeping your tires spinning in 2nd gear. FWIW, I agree with the concensus that the 99-04 stang isn't the right car for D-spec action. I'd pick something substantially lighter.

EDIT: Oh yeah... and pick a wheel tire combo that isn't going to cost you 1200 bucks each time you decide to take it to the drift track... something like a 17x9 with 275's all the way around. You can still tires in that size for 100 bucks each.
