QA1 coil over upgrade

I put in my 73 a set of 15X7 Torq Thrust II (3,75 backspacing)in front of the car with 235/60-15 tires and now with stock springs the tires hit the inner fenders in hard bumpers and in corners if I go fast.
I believe that this is the moment to upgrade front suspension. I think in purchase Energy suspension bushings and a QA1 coil over conversion kit but have a dude:
I read a lot of good things of this kit, but I don't know if this is a good kit for drag race only, or is a good handling for the road.
With this system will take off the continuous balances of the car up and down in the big bumpers?
I want a good handling car, not a drag car.

Thaks to all, and sorry for my bad english.

Fran.

Thanks for the replys, definitely, I'll buy the QA1.
About the bushing, I think in Energy suspension kit, but now I have seen the Polygaphite kit. What is the diference between Energy Suspension and Polygraphite? What is the best?

isn't the energy suspension stuff polyuerethane? If there is a difference i didn't notice it . They really do tighten up your car, its well worth the upgrade

i assume both are polyurethane bushings... you probably wont notice a difference between the 2, but i have the energy suspension ones and im pretty happy with them. if your doing ciolovers, you may as well do the bushings too.
