if you are planning on a multi-purpose car then I suggest a set of double adjustable Afco's. there are other options out there but these shocks have the best valving range and will do exactly what you need for what you do with the car. feel free to call or pm us with any questions or for a quote.

Afco is on the high end of things when it comes to shocks/struts but they are your best bet for dual purpose shocks. Double adjustable would also be the way to go to get the performance you need in a drag race application and handling.

Use this forum and Frrax.com(you need to sign up to get see everything and search) if you are serious about making the car turn. That car is going to be a handful, and non gas charged dragshocks will only make things much worse. As much as the sales men love to sell you on "they can do both" the truth is you'd be much better off with a handling setup for dragracing than a drag setup for handling. You may loose a fraction of a second or two dragracing with a decent handling setup, but you couldn't hope to be competitive with a drag setup trying to do any racing that involves turning. You will be understeering and oversteering all over the place.
