Bracket fox body build,

Looking for some suspension help and keeping the factory 4 link suspension.
Car bottoms out when leaving springs are 200in# factory stuff stock type shock.
Should we be looking for stiffer springs or just a stiffer shock.

With this answer I'm assuming this car won't be used for street driving. I personally have an 83 mustang that I daily drive, but also race from time to time. For one run I mounted a gopro to watch the rear suspension on a run, and WOW was it a mess(bear in mind this is a stick car). Crazy pinion angle, some wheel hop, and a whole lot of typical fox body squat. The only modifications so far is a set of aftermarket lower control arms. In your case, I would definitely get a good set of rear shocks for the car, but would also take a good look at getting some stiffer springs for the rear. I've also heard a lot of people used to run air bags in the rear, but that may be just to maintain some streetability.

Drives it to the track and some cruise nights at the most.

I have used this setup with success. Anti-squat suspension. They have several different types including street strip. I think it’s priced reasonably.

Single drag bag in the RR will work wonders....

An ARB of some sort will be your friend….(properly set up and adjusted)…

[fordteacherguy]

All suggestions put out good...what's your price range? $42 Drag Bag $300-500 Baseline Suspension set up (BTW very nice stuff , I run the Outlaw on my SS'er but still doesn't address body roll but fixes IC problems and stock suspension flex issues, $ 260 plus Install for rear ARB (I run a UPR with roller bearings.

A bag will fix most body roll issues but not the rest... FYI I stiffen up RR shock 2 clicks with a bag to compensate for additional spring rate.. Works for me.... your mileage may vary!

Good luck!

If I can talk the owner into it I’d like to dial in some anti squat and use the Viking coil overs he purchased.
