Wanting a stiffer ride

To start this is a base 84 2.8L V6 bird.
I am upgrading my tires from 195/70R14 to 215/60R15's ion the next month, I know that should help some.
However I wish to put in stiff springs as well as I want a good stiff ride. I will also be doing some engine swap in the next year or two so I don't mind over doing it.

Also what are better struts and shocks to use as well with stiffer springs to tighten my ride?

well for your average street car I recomend the Eibach Pro-kit drop springs. 1" all around and good for handling but if you want allittle more looks then go with the sportlines which I believe is like 1.5"...one thing you wanna think about when lowering your car is the suspension and steering geometry. The lower you go with the suspension the more you throw your geometry off. So you dont wanna lower your car to much. 2" is way to much for handling (although it looks pretty bad ***)

As for struts/shocks I suggest bilsteins...if not that then the ones that ground control sell. Sorry forgot what the name of them was.
