Calvet has the fronts and rears,i believe the rears are 9- way ranchos. I would give them a call, as i hear there customer service is fantastic.
what are you running for rear suspension? How fast ya going?

I use the Calvert's on all four corners of the stocker along with their mono spring and caltracs. Best 60' has been 1.45@3380lbs.

I have Calverts on the front and Rancho 9000 shocks on the rear. Mostly 1.45 60' with Hoosier 9x30 radial slick. Not 100% about the 90/10's. They don't feel like any other drag shock I've used before. I kinda think the cheap gas shocks in the front worked better??

A couple of Stock racers that put 15 plus years of R&D into fast F-body's found the best all around suspension setup was the Calvert rear package(mono's/bars)with Rancho 9000's and a cheap gas shock up front. Its also what we run in the wife's Stocker.

I run Rancho adjustables on the back,stock gas on the front. Original main leafs,still with the oval rubber bushng. The spring pack is from a 69 GTX with the pack turned around backward to soften the rear segment and stiffen the front. I raised the front eye by flipping it upside down. 3875lbs mid 1.50 @60ft.

Good to know.. I know mine needs new front. It just has ryders on it. And they are dented.. So I may just change them to an other cheaper shock and find a decent shock for the rear.. I don't think I need adjustable for it.. Just find a good drag shock for the rear.
