Talking front shock choice for 67 FB

I am currently using Moroso front coils with Koni shocks in the Firebird. I was looking at changing to a QA1, or Santuff coil over arrangement. The goal is to try and keep the front end down, going down track. Too much air is under the car with the moroso,koni deal. What set up are you guys using. Time to get rid of the old school set up.

Front spoiler or airdamn under the front bumper.

No matter what shock spring set up the car will lift to the top of the shock stroke. So shortening the rise height helps.

I use qa1 double adjustable coil overs. They have decent height adjustment. They are a mid level shock. Do the calcs so you get the right spring rate for your car.

I'm running Viking Crusaders, so far so good.

I,m leaning towards Strange Double adjustable shocks. They seem to have good settings on both extension and rebound.
