So I just noticed this problem when I had the rear end up in the air inspecting some stuff. Basically when the suspension compresses the outer shock housing makes contact with the quad shock. After I did some reading in the other thread (deciphering axles) I think I found my problem. The 94 GT rear I threw in is 2" shorter than my old factory rear. Yes I know I should have checked this out at the time of installation but what's done is done. Right now I only see two courses of action: cut and relocate the brackets on the axle to improve the quad shocks alignment OR find the appropiate rear end.
What do ya'll think? Here's some pics to show what I'm talking about.
You have aftermarket lower control arms? If so, you might consider just loosingthe quads all together and not looking back. I've never missed them on my stuff.

No I'm still running factory rears. So your saying if I go aftermarket then I should be ok to drop the quads?
Your old 7.5 housing was wider than the SN-95 one, but the control arm/shock points are in the same location.
87-88TC's used a pretty much identical housing to the 94-98 Mustangs and nothing was changed in regards to shock mounts/etc comparing the 87-88 TC's to the 87-88 non-TC's.
It is possible that the quad shock mounts are different on the axle between the two, but it has nothing to do with the housing being shorter and more to do with the different chassis.
That's wild,I have fat air shocks on mine for the time being,and no rubbing with my quads.
