Default Struts..please help

i have just discovered earlier today that my front passenger strut in leaking and it caused my swaybar linkage bushing to brake. I have replaced that. I was wanting to know should i go back to stock strut or high performance. I am going to eventually make it a drag racing car. Please let me know any help would be greatful. I am clueless in the problem right now.


Thanks

If you do plan on making it a full tilt drag car then don't go back to stock. Hell even if your gonna keep a street car don't go back to stock. The stock shocks are awefull. Do a search for "shocks" in this forum and you'll find a ton of info.

BTW, 4th gens don't have struts, they have shocks. 3rd and 5th gen cars do have struts.
