Ok...4cyl springs help a good bit, I have them. And my strange struts on my foxbody were quiet.
I run 90/10s 50/50s, 4cyl springs, and big n littles, with no front sway bar daily w no issues. Yes I just pit it in a guard rail, but that's because of the dragradials, not the suspension.
And keep the quads on

I personally would leave the rear stuff alone. Like I said, I like the rear setup to be stiff and the front loose. I have FRPP C springs in the back (lowering springs) amd I get great weight transfer. If you find you don't like the rears like that, then I would swap.
IMO a stiff spring in the back helps to prevent the car from squating. Look at the pic of my launch, that is with lowering springs out back.

assuming you are keeping the car lowered, look in to some foxbody struts

Yeah I would like to know as well. I have plans to buy strange 10way adjustables all around with 4 cyl fox springs in front and whatever at the back. I've been hearing that I should use fox shocks/struts instead...
Can someone explain why and would there be any downsides? what woul the minimum drop have to be to be able to use them well?
Thanks
