Default 87 gt vert rear sag/squat remedy?

My wifes 87 squats in the rear and i hate the way it looks, ive noticed just about all of them do it...whats can i do to level it out? Was thinking to lower the front but what are my options with raising the rear 3/4"-1" ? Is it possibly worn shocks/struts? Nothing is rubbing or anyrhing just dont like the look of it is all....

Sounds like a case of worn springs, but dampers are probably worn out as well. Do you have designs on improved performance (handling and cornering) or ONLY want it be leveled out? I would likely recommend a new set of springs/dampers, but most are going to give you a drop in ride height and ride a bit more rough for improved cornering.

What say you?

No.... that is not all you can do, but might need to find some OEM springs. I would do some searching around for a set of OEM springs/dampers for your car. Take a look at FRPP and might find something
