Default Suspension suggestions for 1990 GT

My car came with eibach drag springs and Lakewood 50 50 shocks when I bought it. Its obvious that the rear suspension is shot because the car sits very slanted the front being high and the rear sitting noticeably low and I get a lot of scraping when going over bumps and I can feel almost every little pebble I run over. In other words its a very uncomfortable ride. There is a kit on latemodelrestoration.com that goes for 600 dollars and im wondering if it would be worth purchasing this over again.

Are you going to do alot of drag racing? I personally dont think those shocks will give you the best handling car on the street.

If you just get some adjustable lower control arms you can change the rear ride hight.

yes and no, and as of now I cant tell how good it would handle since the suspension is shot to hell in the back. I read and watched some videos and seen people having a harder time getting sideways because of the springs doing their job and stabilizing the car. I mean for me I spin through 3rd from a dig because of my tires and idk if the suspension would have anything to do with it. Im going to be at the drag strip when it gets warmer, and investing in some draglite rims to throw slicks on em as well as radials for street driving. I hope to turbo my car in the future and switch from my 4:10's to 3 73's to have good top end (highway pulls). So im not sure what I should really do but im gunna be having a lot of fun with the car the way it is and more the 1/4 mile runs. I still need to get my cam and tune done, Its been snowing a lot in my area.

It shouldn't be lower in the back with those springs. Do you have a lot of stereo in the back, or other weight?

nope no stereo or any sort of sound system only alpine speakers in the rear next to seats along with an equalizer under the radio is all that I know of since I bought the car. Only things in the trunk are the spare tire, jack a spare battery and a small ratchet and socket kit. Ill post a picture up tomorrow of angles of the car
