Default 2" lowered- what type of struts
I lowered the front of my Z28 2" and I finally blew the front (stock) struts. I need new ones now and do not know what ones to get. I run at the strip alot and dont want to go to cheap. Thanks for the help

or QA1 or Stange Adjustables (Single or Double) depending on your level of racing and finances......

Those shocks actually require a coil over spring, I believe their 2.5" in diameter and various heights/spring rates. Those QA1's will not work with a stock Fbody spring or normal Fbody "lowering spring".
