Default Coilovers: Strange or QA1??

I'm in the market to purchase a set of front single adjustable coil overs and a set of single adjustable rear shocks. It seems that Strange and QA1 are pretty similiar in design and price. Does anyone recommend one over the other? Are there any advantages to either design? Thanks for any help.

If it was road race/street setup, I would be able to chime in. I'm not by any means an expert on a drag setup though unfortunately.

I prefer the Strange over the QA1's. Strange shocks seem to have a better valving and are built better my .02....

thanks for the input, i was leaning toward the Strange due to the fact that they are located about 20 mins from my house and would be easier to deal with if any problems did arise.
anyone else??
