Default What struts are this?

Good day everyone, bought my formula back in October and been restoring it, have you seen this before? They came with the car and can't seem to find them anywhere. Are they good? Should I get new ones? They are much lower then factory. All help would be great and if I should get new ones what do I get. Thanks

I've seen those before. I think they're drag shocks? Been a long time.

FYI - Rear shocks will have zero impact on ride height. Front shocks might depending on where the spring seat is, but generally speaking shocks will not affect that. I don't think those have a lower spring perch than factory but I could be wrong. Like I said it has been a while. What springs are on there?
