What most peopel use (and Pantera vendors sell) are the Proma Stars, single
adjustable model # DR5855B with a bearing end (rod end) or equivalent poly
bushed model is DR5855P. If you want to go double adjustable the part #'s
are DDR5855B/P. These shocks take a 12" spring, sold separately.
 
I have the DR5855B's on two cars and very happy with their performance, no
leaks or issues to date, however I see both Jegs and Summit have dropped the
'B' versions, but they still show on QA1's catalog. They require mount
spacers as the mounts are considerably narrower than a stock shock mount.
