Stock Front End, Torsion Bar
Rear Ladder Bar

I went 9's with the shocks you currently have, and found the adjustments actually do change how the shock works. Used them both on the street and the track for years.

I like and use the Koni SPA fronts, they may not be available anymore but look around for them. They have speed sensing valving in them and they are also externally adjustable, I've never adjusted them yet, they worked great right out of the box My car weighs 3450 with me in it and runs low tens corked up on pump gas, 60 ft. in the low 1.40 with ladder bars and coil overs in the rear
