Semi coil over front spring options?
I have a rebuilt, stock power steering setup and ordered a hydro tech master cylinder system and stock replacement, 4 piston wilwood calipers. 15” X8” weld xp wheels with 235 60 front tires. Will do street and some drag strip with the car. I Also have a stock Suspension rebuild kit and plan to rebuild the stock A arms and sway bar using this kit.
the back has a QA1 coil over, 4-link setup with Weld xp 10” wheels.
I don’t have a plan for front springs and shocks. I have the stock, original springs and gas shocks currently on the front.
im looking at possibly getting the semi adjustable van steel springs with the single adjustable shocks for $700. Probably the lighter springs for street and weight transfer.
anyone have experience with these? Any other options out there in a similar price range?

If I'm following you stock longer light weight springs with 90/10 drag racing shocks allow the front end to lift up and hold it there.
But qa1s with shorter springs would limit travel

Good point. Maybe I just leave the stock worn springs on it? I have some new 450 lb stock springs I bought 10 years ago but I think they are too stiff and will mess up my ride height too. Ride height currently is about right.

I ordered these.
ill plan to clean up and use the stock springs. They are probably the softest I’ll be able to get and won’t have to mess with the ride height.
