So I'm in the market for new shocks and springs for my 88 fox, the ride is bad enough where the car is almost not fun to drive and really doesn't seem to handle that great either. What I have right now that the previous owner installed are Eibach prokit springs (front and rear), KYB GR2 struts up front and some blue shocks (no name on them) in the rear and MAC Caster Camber plates. The issues I'm having are when I turn the wheel all the way right or left my front tires rub the splash guard I'm assuming. Sometimes when I get on the brakes hard or turn right hard I hear a loud grinding sound (not sure how to describe it) almost sounds like its from the rear but not certain. The ride is super harsh and noisey, I feel every pebble in the road and I just dont dig the stance, sits VERY low in the front and pretty high in the rear. I want it to sit pretty much level and have a little more ground clearance up front, this is what I'm working with right now after installing BBK longtube headers ground clearance wise.
Here's what the current ride height looks like, looks decent but I cant even drive my car up onto my ramps for an oil change
I'm not looking for ultimate racecar handling or being able to hook so hard I pop wheelies off the line, just a setup with a decent ride that wont bruise my kidneys while driving lol. As far as other aftermarket parts that the previous owner installed it has some red lower control arms (not sure on brand) I believe stock upper control arms, BBK subframe connectors, panhard rod and this thing, I guess an anti roll bar in the back
