Konis or Tokicos are probably going to be your best bet.

Jerry came up with some double adjustable struts designed for our cars in a recent post.

They are the only strut made that I have seen that will fit our cars and give you the adjustability in separate compression and rebound settings with 16 click levels each.

Go with the KONI SA Yellows. They are time and performance proven.

I included a link to the guys that I buy my Konis from. The SA rears are a fantastic adjustable shock.

you've got the ratios wrong front to rear... for drag use you'll usually run a 90/10 or 70/30 front stut and a 50/50 rear.

I wouldn't do it on a street car.
