Can you guys help me pick shocks? ive searched already

Ok ive been goin in circles trying to find the right shock/spring combo for my car. I tried searching but not many have my springs.

Here is my situation, my car already has springs, H&R's, they lower it 1.25 inches, and I still have stock shocks all the way around.

I can tell that my stock shocks are all dead and now its time to upgrade. The car is a daily driver and the style of racing that I do do in it is about 95% drag racing, of course i like ripping up canyon roads but i am mainly conerned about drag. (i have traction issues , wheel hop, spin etc)

I gathered that Hal's in the back would be nice BUT i dont know what shocks would match my springs......

What im asking is for some reccomendations based on my driving methods

Thanks

The only thing that'll tame H&R springs are Koni's

Don't know bout those springs but Hals are very good shocks and they're adjustable to suit msot driving needs, also the fronts are adjustable in height.

Re: Can you guys help me pick shocks?

The 300lb springs and Hal Adjustable should be a decent compromise between drag and handling especially if you went with the standard HAL adjustables. The R series wouldn't be a good fit if you want to turn corners at speed.
