I'm using Cal Trac 90/10 non adjustable. I like them so far. They have way less dampening than the CE shocks. The car is fun to drive but I can't say that it's faster or hooks up better. If you want more front end rise, and don't want to spend a lot of money, they are the shock for you.

Look at using a set of the koni SPA1 front shocks I've got a BB duster with ladder bars and coil overs using a diagonal length that runs mid to low tens on ET Street Radails, those front shocks are the best I've treid so far, not the most expensive or the cheapest but the best so far
