Stiffer rear springs are way to go. If you have some nice clean WS6 rear leafs, I'd have them re-arched. On a 2nd Gen, it wouldn't be that hard to duplicate a pair of Herb Adams shackles, they are 1" longer center to center. Ran a pair for several years in the mid 80's on my modified '80 Turbo car. Even with low miles on the '80, the rear settled down some with the extra weight of the torque-starter battery & big 20lb nitrous bottle on opposite trunk ledges. Managed to run a pair of 265-60r15 NCT's, no rub & they lasted lasted twice a long as the 255 Eagles I kept going through.
