Most guys use the stock springs in the rear and a coil over in the front. The stock springs will work in the front but getting a better shock will help.

I am using hypercoil rear lowering springs. Been told numerous times f-body likes a stiffer rear spring.

Hello
I noticed that you are interested in what people are using for a drag suspension! UMI Performance recommends going with a stock spring and QA1 shock in the rear and a coil over set-up in the front! Now if the car is going to be a street and strip car a 300lbs spring would be great. But if it is just going to be a pure drag car I would suggest going with a 275lbs spring in the front. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks
Brad
