Depends on what you're wanting to do with the car? Is it your track car, or daily driver? Or in between?

Konis with Strano springs hands down for anything street and or auto x related.

Strange or QA1s for the track, with some 300lb springs. Or less (like a 275lb) if you're just doing track runs, and have front end weight reduction.
