if you are looking to drag a lot get them. if not may want to consider other options. i have them on my camaro and they are a little ruff on the street but the weight transfer at the track is great. my car came with them when i got it. i mostly race the car few street miles a year.

My car is my DD but it sees the track a lot... I'm always open to suggestions

If you go QA1's go with 300 or 325 lbs spring up front the 275's are for d. r. only. Rear is QA1 shock with stock springs I believe. With QA1's you do give up some road handling cause of the soft front spring rate.

If it's a DD/DR car and you really not that concerned with corner carving I'd look a DA (double adjustable) shocks (QA1, Strange, Afco). That way you'll have a better shock for both situations street/track.
I would also take a look at the Strange DA shocks, a less expensive alternative to the QA1 shocks with the Hypercoil springs (better then the QA1 springs).
If you're looking to lower the rear a little you could do the "Hose Mod"(.5" to .75" lowering) or install a set of Hotchkis rear lowering springs(1" lowering).
Another thing, If you plan on lowering the front more than .75" i would look at a slightly stiffer springs like a 325, or 350 (Eibach ERS only not available in the Hypercosprings)to keep it a little more streetable.
