Like mentioned, I want to get a sturt thats gonne work with all these situations. Now I know that some are better then others for certain cases, but I want a car that will ride well and be ok for all these situations. I have a feeling that Im going to have to go adjustable, so if thats the case which are the best. I was going to look into the tokia (sp) ones but Im not sure. SO lets here what you have and how they work.

I have the tokico 5-way drag struts up front. They are stiff enough for some mild auto cross, and very loose on the other end of the adj. range. In fact they are too harsh for my taste. I keep them set to soft all the time, they ride pretty nice on the street that way. I installed coilovers at the same time for full adjustability, I have the car sitting at about stock ride height now. I have 250lb springs too, so there are alot of variables.
