Shocks and struts

alright i'm kinda at a loss for what kind i should get. I was looking at the koni yellows but i'm not sure now if they are best for my aplication. I want a good handling car that i can of course go zipping around corners, but i want to still be able to fly down the stright a way and be able to put my power to the ground when i throw in my crate. I'm willing to sacrifice some handling for some stright line traction, but i do still want to handle a lot better then my stock set up.

The Koni adjustables will allow you to set them soft for the track, or stiffer for corners and street use.

thanks a lot for the input but will i be ablt to adjust it enough to make a difference because i've read that the softest you can go on those is still pretty stiff.

My experience w/ them is limited, but I know they can be adjusted. Pesonally I plan on going w/ QA1 HAL's on the rear and trying to find something for the front. I wish QA1 made the HALs for the struts for our cars. They are pretty stiff at the hardest setting, but extremely soft on the softest. Oh well.
