I use Strange DA shocks on all 4 corners of my drag car and I pull 60 foot times around 1.17 - 1.19 sec. Needless to say, I recommend Strange shocks for your car.
BMR sells both brands, so give us a call when you are ready to order.

All of the shocks work, some need them other really don't and they can save some $$$ staying with a shock that suits the needs. If the check book is bottomless then always buy the best.
I like my QA1's quite fine and I can't wait to get the R series on the front and see what it does at the track.

The single adjustable Strange shocks would be the ones that i would recommend. They are the best shock for the money and hold up well for a street/strip car. We ahve very competitive prices on both the Strange and QA1 shock. Here is a link to our site. If you have any questions please give me a call.

If the car is going to be driven on the street i would go with the 325 lb springs. This is a good spring for a street strip car. If its a weekend warrior/strip car the 300 lb ones are a good choice. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Your spring choice is going to be determined by the plans you have for your car. To light a spring will not support the front end weight correctly. To stiff a spring will make the cars ride to hard and make it feel bouncy. Spring rate for a drag car will be alot different than the spring rate for a corner carver. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Go with strange DA if you have the money to buy them. Otherwise, SA will be fine. I perfer having the extra adjustability in front. I have singles in back. There are some very fast cars running on SA shocks.
If you plan to stick to that weight then go with the 325lb.
