There are tons of options available - just check the site sponsors. I am running QA1s on the front.

QA1's are a popular choice, and have a great rep. Get ready for the wallet to be lighter tho

i would go with the strange single adjustables for the front. they are less expensive then the qa1's and perform exactly the same. talk to eric at midwest chassis. hes a forum sponsor.

I run QA1's. I can't say how amazing they are or anything because my car hooked good on stock front shocks. Having the ability to turn a spanner nut to adjust ride-height is a sweet deal though. I bought mine from some dealer on ebay. Can't remember what I paid but $350-$400 rings a bell. They have adjustable compression and rebound with a turn of a clicker.

Strange and QA1 both have single and DA coil over options for our cars. Manman has a real nice Afco but be ready to pay for the quality! KYB also makes one if your on a very tight budget but it doesn't adjust for compression and rebound like the others. It only adjusts for stiffness in both directions.

I sell Strange front single adjustable shocks @ $149.50 ea, or the doubles @ $249.50 ea. If You will give Me a call I will give You a better quote!

Go into the Drag racing section and search it. All of the big guys and sponsors that sell all of them recommend Strange and AFCO over the other brands. DAs are best if you got the cash. I personally run Strange DAs up front with 300# springs and AFCO DA rears with stock springs.
