Default 94 Formula suspesion problems

Hello i am having trouble with my car. When i hit dips my car bottoms out on my tires cutting them(just messed up my brand new eagles). my car has a half coil cut out of the rear springs to try to even them out an adjustable panhard bar with new dicarbons. i am trying to figure out how to stop this(my wheels are flush with the quarter panel).

any ideas?

I have a set of 3rd gen rear koni sa's i can get for cheap but i dont really have the money for front struts.

also on the highway when i hit bumps it feels like it is swaying around and bobbing.

You need new shocks. The fronts are more important. Get some stock springs that have not been cut on!

YOu can use the 3rd gen rears if htere in good shape and get some 4th gen koni fronts! or if your poor like you said get some HD's

coolformula nailed it on the head.

your wheel tire combo, stiffness of the spring and the ability of the shock to control it all come into play.

the wheels are ok i think. (they are set up for a 3rd gen rear. but are flush with the fender.) i was thinking maybe a set of airbags might help controll the rear.

think that might help? my friend says if that does not fix it he will give me the konis and pay for the airbags.
