Thinking of doing coil overs set up
These are the ones I've got and what it says off the QA1 website:
Double Adjustable
Truly independent compression and rebound adjustment.
576 Waiving Options
Includes 24 positions of compression adjustment on one ****, and 24 positions of rebound adjustment on the other ****. Each **** is clearly labeled with an "R" for rebound or a "C" for compression, as well as plus and minus symbols for ease of adjustment.

Do you think you need a coilover conversion to get this?
Bilstien HD's and a set of BMR, or UMI springs will get you what you described above. But w/out you telling us what you have now, thats a best guess.
If you're not going to track the car then some konis with strano springs is the best setup you can go with. Strange and QA1s are a more track friendly shock, but you could get by on the street with 300lb springs in the front and 200lb springs in the rear.
Lots more information in the suspension section...

And for a handaling set-up (not drag) 300F/200R ain't even close. 300 F is almost stock and 200 R is almost double stock rates.
If your answering a question and use the term "track", which type of track are you talking about?
For street use w/ good manners while trying to turn, look for 500-550F/180-200R.
My road course only "track" car uses 700F/250R. Most guys run a 225R w/ that 700F. I'm moving to an 800F/250-275R for the 2011 season. I ran Bilstien HD's w/ the springs listed above for almost 2 years. I moved up to a rebuildable Bilstien race shock a few years back.
Drag, track, Mexico... whatever you wanna call it.
Couple buddies of mine run the strange dual adjustable shocks with 300lb springs in the front both at the track, and also on the street and have no issues with them and they handle well. I guess "well" is a subjective term though... Seems like the OP is looking for a corner carving setup.

This is what I call a track:

But I got money that says your set-up will not work at this track.
So no, drag, track, Mexico.... whatever is not enough. I was open minded to ask what type of use the car was gonna see. You (and a few others) assumed it was for drag racing.
For some reason i thought u had other ones? 
If u look at stranges part number's they have a "drag only" shock and a normal DA.. I have plenty of customers that use strange on Drag Race or street, and SCCA.. By the way you are talking then u know its all in the setup and adjustment, spring rate etc etc... My personal opinion, Koni is the best way to go in either route, but.. Not many will spend the money on the Koni pro series shocks, or any of there other ones..
And yes some of us assumed it was for drag race, but some of the shocks listed will go either way. Spring rates, maybe not.

If the intended use for you car is mainly street driving and corner carving, then IMHO, like I said before, konis are hands down the best.
