on my "budget 79 nothback", id like to upgrade to coil over struts in front and go with inexpensive "fixed" valve struts.

which would be preferable 70/30 or 90/10 with 175-lb springs??

as far as the coilover kits IMO they are all about equal.

x2 on the Strange struts. We adapted their struts and coil over kit to my Fairlane. They work and are a good entry level adjustable strut.

As for the coil-over kits make sure you get one where the adjustment ring is notched so you can adjust with a common spanner wrench. I have the Steeda Evil or Very Mad kit on mine and I hate it, knurled ring and a real pain to turn. It's one item that will be replaced in the near future.

I have the Strange struts and the QA1 coil over kit. Both are nice.
