Default Drag shocks on c5?

Who's all running drag shocks on a c5? I seen that qa1 has some. But a few different ones. R series? My car sits really low and i ant to keep it that way. What length and series shocks should I get? Coil over conversion also?

i have qa1 adjustables on the rear of mine and im really low too.Since i dont have them on the front just stock ones,if i set them too firm on the street the car likes to porpoise.So i just leave them in the middle then set them softest at the track.Now sure which ones they are had them for awhile.

Right now I have the stock bolts in the rear with the nut all the way out and cut bushings. No bolts in the front. Koni gold shocks. Which are probably terrible for the track. Last year with the stock 342 and 315/35/17 Hoosier drag radials it went a 1.55 60' slipping the clutch. This year I have a 410 gear and will be on a 27x10x 15 slick and leave a lot harder. So shocks will be needed I'd say.
