Default Drag Racing suspension

I have a 96 Z28 with double rod end suspension on the back and stock up front. im looking for new springs in the front and the back to help keep the front end up and help with weight transfer. i havent been able to find any 90/10 shocks for fbodies and im looking for something a little less expensive then QA1s. the car isnt driven on the street so it can be something thats for drag racing only. also looking for new rear shocks. any recomendations?

I'd consider Strange Engineering shocks over the QA1's. For the dollar, the are a great value.

I don't think the QA1's require any type of welding. I know Strange shocks to not.

Hello, neither one of the shocks mentioned require welding they are a direct bolt in.
