Double adjustable coilovers I believe are going to be more appropriate than what you have, but I appreciate the reply.
Avman, I know you're probably too young for this to mean anything as far as drag racing from the mid 60s, but sometime when you have the time google, Fast Eddie Schartmans Air Lift Rattler. He had a couple of Mercury Funny cars with air bag suspension, of course sponsored by Air Lift. Air bags aren't just for low riders, and semi trucks.

No pressure here, but I believe you discounted the air ride suspension as soon as you read it, thinking that it couldn't work on a drag strip. FWIW, air suspension has been used on many different venues of racing though the years. I just wanted you to be aware of the possibility, your car and your money, and your discretion, I won't mention it any further.
