Do a search in the Drag Racing Tech section for some good information. I run the QA1'a on all four with decent results. However, the two front shocks leak which is a common problem with the QA1's. There are better options out there, but they are more expensive.

For the rear i run a stock spring with a competition engineering shock. For the front i run a strange coilover. Just got the front on, so no results, but back stuff was working pretty well.

For drag racing, I recommend QA1 or Strange. Double adjustable is the way to go if you can afford it. BMR sells both QA1 and Strange.

If you want the car to hook in a mudpuddle, you should consider a BMR Xtreme sway bar (either XSB001 or XSB002). Your rear axle housing is a propeller that wants to spin. The Xtreme sway bar will help plant both tires equally. Most of our big horsepower customers run this sway bar and they have seen 60 foot times in the high 1.10s and low 1.20s on drag radial tires!!
