Hey guys I have a question for you. I have an 06 MT GT with around 465 rwhp that not a DD. its a street car that get flogged hard at the drag strip. I run bias ply tires,4.10,most all rear bolt on rear suspension, Steeda Ultralite spring and stock shocks and struts,front sway delete. my stock shocks are starting to seep and need replaced. What do you recommend I replace the stock and struts with? Also (hint, hint) this would be a great group buy items with tax return season fast approaching.
Thanks
Dale

How extreme do you want to go with performance?

EDIT: So its Koni or Tokico?

Being a big drag racer you will want adjustable, but I've never heard anything good about tokico customer service on those occasions where their become unreliable. If it the extra cost doesnt befront you than there's absolutely no reason not to buy the koni's

Should you not care about adjusting it yourself I've absolutely no compaints about my bilsteins.

Nothing in the non adjustable will work great for the street and the strip. With that said f you are looking for non adjustable either Tokico or the Koni SRT would work. Just keep in mind that they are geared more toward performance street driving and not launching. If you are looking for adjustable the D-specs are the least expensive and work great. If you are looking for something more geared toward the strip then you might want to look into something like a QA1. We don't carry them because of quality issues but people have had success with them.

Well, you've now seen WHY you need to replace the shocks/struts when you lower!
Get ones that fit your needs best. Adjustable are nice.
