Default Help with front drag shocks

Some time ago I read a posting on the Forum outlining the use of Lakewood (I think) shocks with extensions as front drag shocks for a Corvette. Does anyone recall this posting? If so, might you be able to direct me to that specific posting. I seem to remember the posting even included the Part Numbers for the shocks and the extensions. I'm planning to install the shocks on a C4. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

I cant remember if it was 67 or 69 Camaro but I used Summit brand drag shocks listed for one of them on front of my C4. If you measure your stock ones, Summit lists the lengths to compare it to.
