Default Coil over shocks and springs

Has anyone tried QA1 coil over set up on the front of a 68 vette. It's a light weight drag car with stock a arms. right now it has cut down stock coils very low in the front. looking to raise a little and be able to adjust ride height .

I bought these coil overs with QA-1 shocks you can get dual adjustable or single. I have the 550# with single adjustable shocks had them for two years work great, if I go to the the road race track for a day I can reach under the car and adjust them the way you want. They they have a notch in the control **** you just count the number of clicks. I have a BB with aluminum heads and the 550# work good not to stiff.

Agree. Have these on my '76 part time drag car - work well on the track and street. Can get the ride height just right, as well as get her nice and level. Easy to adjust...

Big Block or small block? What spring rate do you have? Thanks for the info.
