Shocks
Faster....
E Bay Item number: 8073329119 ...Bought QA1 from this company on E Bay.My geometry uses pickup points from Cobra Restorers plans and custom made upper and lower A arms & Must II spindles .Looks good thru mock up..I am going to run a small block and will try 450# springs first.Need to find some snubbers for shocks like Koni uses for bump stop.DR4855 shocks give a ride height at 11.250 Inch between full bump and droop.Seems right.

Hey how does this sound?
Fronts 17" ext. 11.625" comp. ride height 13.75"-14.25" 450# spring.
Rears 18.75" ext. 12.5" comp. ride height 15"-15.75" 275# spring.
This will be an IRS car and front mounts are lower than stock.

I think I was looking at the 5855's for the rear. I doubt you would need that much travel.
