I am very pleased with my eibach progressive rate springs and regular old monroe shocks, drastically better than stock without a stiff jarring ride. It handles very nicely for a street car. I'd recommend progressive rates to any restomodder.

Stiffer springs than stock, either 540lbs (give or take)
or small block progressive rate.
KYB
Edelbrock
or Koni shocks
