Default Some suspension help please

Well the good ol Stang just isnt what is what back in 88' and the suspension is real worn down. It takes bumps and pot holes horribly making the ride really uncomfortable. So i was wondering what the best suspension mods would be to make the ride more comfortable.. i dont frequent the track very often maybe 1-2 times a season so drags springs and the like may not be the best unless of course the offer a better ride. So what suspension mods should i be looking at, Brands etc? Thanks in advance guys

OEM replacement stuff is going to be the most comfortable stuff you can get. Unless you want to invest a ton of money into an air ride suspension.

You can use springs from a 4cyl if you just want a smoother ride. Handling will suffer im sure if you like racing around corners.

You could keep the springs you have now and go with adjustable shocks/struts.

My GT is getting a bit rough in the suspension dept to. I may just get adjustables and keep my springs. Unless somebody has more input on the 4cyl springs.
