Default Front suspension question

'99 Camaro 4xx rwhp, A4, 3600 converter, adj LCAs, rear sa qa1s, short tq arm, 1" sphon rear sway bar, adj. ph bar, 3 point SFCs

Fronts are stock springs/shocks with 136k miles. How good do SA front shocks, 300# springs and travel limiters sound for an upgrade? Thinking with travel limiters DA front shocks would not be needed.

I would go DA front shocks. The spring rate will depend on weight. It should be between 275 and 300#s. We can set you up if interested.
