i'd check with madman at thunder racing on what he would reccomend based on what stuff you already have done to the car on what is gonna work best 
Picking front shocks and springs
Picking front shocks and springs What is the correct way to go about picking springs? My car weighs 3300#'s with me in it. What would be the best shocks to use? This is a 99% strip car.
I would try the car with stock springs on it first. as for shocks, if ya have the $ go for the afco's, or strange. QA1's are what alot of people on this board run including myself, and they are a TON better then stock, and are pretty good $ wise.
Stay away from the double adjustable QA1s.

Verdad Gallardo The doubles were designed on the R shaft and body. There isnt enough room to put a proper valve in there. Plus they leak twice as fast as the regular ones. If you are going to spend the money on a double then step up and buy Strange Or AFCO.

What would the spring rate be on a stock spring? I'm trying to under stand how the spring rate is determined. What exactly does the 275lbs rating of a spring mean? Lol, maybe this is way over my head.
I have been running my car for years on full stock suspension thinking that suspension parts were a waste, then I changed the tq arm, installed some LCA relocation brackets and after one pass with'em I realized how much I need to work on the complete suspension setup
