Default Pfadt or LG GT2 Coilovers for Street/Drag-Strip?

Anyone with either the Pfadt or LG GT2's have any experience with them at the drag-strip? I'm looking for coilovers that will perform well on the street and also help me cut 1.4 60ft times or better at the drag-strip (traction permitting of course).

TIA

honestly, I have seen the inside of Pfadt coilovers after a local guy had a damper failure and after seeing some of the parts which are inside the shock body, there is no way I am putting that part on my car.

The oil that came out of the damper smelled like fish oil, I am not kidding. I have been around quite a few dampers over the years, and these ranked up there as some of the worst I've seen.

Just one guy's opinion, but I would go LG over Pfadt

I've had my Pfadts apart as well, and they looked similar internally to the long-travel Fox dampers I use on my rock rig. They were priced well, continue to last under my C6 without issue, and have all but eliminated any significant wheel hop at the strip (also installed with their transmission mounts) running both 335 NT05's and 345 M/T's.

They're fine for me.
