Dragstrip only track car I assume.

Cheapest, Lakewood 90/10
Better and a lot more expensive, Koni SPA1

I'm sure there are a few more options as drag race, third gen specific, replacement struts but none of them are going to be cheap.

i like my tokico adjustable's but for a mostly track car.. they might be too much for ya and you dont need the extra adjustability they provide, as you might never use it. they handle good as they can be set up stiff. and at the strip, the softest setting is good for drags. its just that if you take it out to a show or out for a quick cruise on a weekend, you can set them abit stiffer for a nicer controlled ride on the street
