Default what shock/strut/spring setup

my car still has stock susupension and its starting to take a shit. from strut is shot and rear passenger isnt right..sits high. I wanna do it at once but not rape my wallet at the same time. Its a street//sees track time a few times a rear car. I want a somewhat comfortable ride, but somehting stiffer. i was looking at steeda sports or maybe eibachs all the way around, lakewood 90/10s up front and some cheap shocks in the back. what do u guys think about this? I might do CC plates if i can come up with some extra cash. If anyone is running a simpular setup please let me know how u like it

thanks

david

what about 4 banger springs? ive heard that they work pretty well and give it a good look.+ there cheap i got a ride in a 90/10 car and it didnt feel rough at all. also to eliminate the quad shock you just need a aftermarket lower control arm correct?

4 cyl springs suck on the street. You WILL nose dive every time you try and stop hard. They are great for drag racing though. Especially if you cut them. 90/10 or 70 /30 's up front /// 50/50's out back/ Eibach Drag set-up if you don't care about turning, Eibach street set-up if you do. Good Luck

rubber neck how do u lik the 4cyl and 50/50s? do u scape at all when going over bumps? also would cheap kybs work okay for the rear or is it worth the extra 40-50 bucks on 50/50s. I prob gonna find just 2 speed sports or eibach streets on ebay and 90/10s up front.

i dont scrape anything except my suspension techniques rear sway bar(hangs really low) car launches dangling the wheels about a foot and a half. 1986 genuine ford 4 cyl front struts. i have 90/10's but i have to switch the spindles, 4cyl brakes still.
