Advice needed on rear suspension

Hello, looking for a little more advice.

I have a typical fox body 4 link rear suspension. This has coils in front of the axle mounted to lower control arm,and has shock absorbers behind the axle. The travel and spring tension seems soft as I rub my tires against wheel wells on some bumps and dips. Don't want to ruin my quarter panels or tires.

My question is: In found a set of QA1 adjustable coilovers that can be mounted in place of the shocks. Should I still keep the coil springs in front of the axle, or completely remove them, and just have the coilovers only?
Thanks Ken
