Default Shocks for stock springs?

I've got a HORRIBLE wheel hop problem. I'm going to be getting some LCA's, but I think that a lot of my problem is the shocks. I haven't verified this yet, but I believe that they're the original shocks (bought the car only a few weeks ago). If they are, they're definitely getting replaced.

I'm going to be keeping the stock springs at least for a good long while. Maybe in a couple years I'd consider lowering it, but I'm not sure about that. I'm interested in maximizing the drag racing performance and I want to get this wheel hop problem fixed. What do you guys recommend? I heard the Bilstein HD's are the minimum. What's the best without getting insane on the price?

Bilstein HDs are great shocks for stock springs. That is what they are designed for.

Bilstein HDs are a good all-around shock. From a pure drag racing view I like adjustable HALs better. But they are more expensive. I get NO wheel hop with my setup.
