Reply to "single vs double adjustable shocks"

I'm glad this topic has sufaced again. I've looked at just about every previous discussion on shocks and spring rates and am more confused than ever.

Too many variables, I know, but there's got to be a middle-of-the-road solution for those of us who drive the Pantera on the street, to work, to cruise-ins and such.

So, let's say I plan to buy the single adjustable QA1 shocks for a street-driven, narrow-body Pantera with Pantera East Campys (16x8 front, 17x11 rear):

- From what I've read, DR5855P is the correct shock, but why not buy DR4955P (Front/Rear application) for the front? Aren't the stock front shocks shorter than the rears?

- And for what seems to be the toughest question of all, what is the best spring rate for front and rear? The rate combinations seem to be all over the map but, in general, tend to approach 400/550 for a firm but not harsh ride on the street.

All opinions and comments welcome, and I thank you for your time.
