Default whats a better suspension setup?

I'm currently running the belltech 3/4 drop with the nitto drop shocks and these shocks blow---im wanting a better ride and better launching at the track. Would I benefit more from putting some QA1 shocks on with the 3/4 or changing the setup to a 4/6 with stock springs up front and just a flip kit out back with QA1??

You wont want stock shocks with 4" up front.
I have belltech nitro actives up front with my belltech 3" springs and am happy with how it rides. I know a few people with the street performance shock front and back and they really like them.
If you have the money the qa1's would be a good route for the rear

ya no stock shocks just wondering if i would benefit from a 4/6 drop with QA1s - ive just heard that the belltech springs up front dont transfer weight all that well

Oh sorry read that wrong, i see it says stock springs.

The belltechs are pretty stiff.
Do you already have a notch? Are you thinking spindles and control arms? or just a 4" control arm?

yes its notched but the fronts is stiff and im not a big fan of the nitto drop shocks-im thinking of going stock springs and a 4'' control arm up front and putting the stock shackle and hangers with a flip kit and running QA1 all around-ive just heard that the belltech front springs dont transfer weight and power to the rear all to good

I have the same Belltech 3/4 kit and the front is a little rough. I was thinking about trying the street performance shocks and see if it got better.. Probably doesn't help I need ball joints and tie rods too...
