1990 Formula ride advice

Hey guys, I have a 1990 Formula with the WS6 package. From day one, the car rides like it has square wheels. We have changed shocks/struts around and tried different tires with no real changes. I know subframe connectors would strengthen body integrity. What can I do to make this car ride a little better? Any of you guys have any input? Thanks

With front strut suspension (high internal friction/stiction) and solid rear axles our cars will never win awards for ride quality. Have you tried a high quality adjustable strut up front? The 204 lb/in rate of our WS6 rear springs contributes to the ride harshness IMO. I think that changing the front and rear in a coordinated fashion will make the most improvement. Many people are happy with the progressive rate Eibach springs and claim ride and handling improvements. Global West is an actual engineering shop, not just a marketeer. I'd drop them a line at globalwest.net and see what they recommend.
