Default poor mans suspention setup question

would the cheapest way to go be hal r series double adj. in the front and stockers in the rear? im getting mixed reviews about what to do. some are saying doubles in the back stocks in the front. also i was wanting to do the 275lb springs in the front and cut off a coil on the stock springs for the rear. good idea?

qa1 r series single adj. in the front and cheap lakewood's or comp engineering in the back work good. i went 1.29 60's with that set-up with a jegs torque arm.

R series fronts and F series rear. What ET are you shooting for? This eill help determine SA or DA needs. At 3000# RW a 275# spring will work well.

I have been debating the QA1 shock issue for my Vette. Which vendor is knowledgeable enough to provide help with these. I want to make sure I get the right model, Jegs is not cutting it.
