Default Suspension advice?

My 85 gt need suspension help. I feel and hear every little bump. My car has lowering springs on it already. I wouldnt want it any lower anyways. There is no wheel hop. I have stock rear. It has upgraded front calipers pads rotors stainless break lines front and back. Needs e brake fixed and rear drums. Anyways been saving for new suspension for the car. Dont want really hi tech. Its a street driven car i dont hot lap it although id like to try it sometime. Mostly a street driven car/ nice days... has quad shocks and not sure if its 7.5 or 8.8 rear. All i was told was new 3.73s 28spline axles and ford racing trac lok. What is a good setup for on the cheap? After suspension is done ill be saving for long tubes, h pipe and to ditch my magna flow true duels for something else.

i would spend the money on energy suspension full poly kit, and a set of HPM mega bite jrs and call it a day, if you drag race alot....a bag in the right coil at about 8 psi

VERY well spent, you'll love it

on your rear...here is the 7.5" kind of "oblong" or oval if you will ?


and see how the 8.8 is less oblong ? more circle or perfect square ?
