Strut/Shock selections

[Dark-5.0]

I figure you guys could give me the best insight. I'm looking to buying brakes and suspension parts next. I plan on just upgrading to 10th anniversay cobra brakes with slotted rotors. But I'm needing some insight with picking a good strut/shock combo. I already have MMR 175lb 12" coil overs and plan on buying their rear coil over set to match. I know 175lb isn't hardcore for real track time. But I just want a good handling set up with very little body roll but still have good weight transfer for the couple times it'll see the track. I don't wanna say money isn't an issue, but I don't mind spending some extra dough to get a good quality piece. I'd like to be adjustable of course too. So what are some suggestions. Thanks.

p.s. bigger sway bars and a panhard bar are in the near future as well

I'm no specialist but since you have coil overs ...QA1 makes a great 12 way adjustable strut/shock combo...my .02 cents! I've been thinking about them or the KYB AGX 5 way adjustables.

I've read bad things about the QA1 strut. The shock is good though. Jus remeber that when something is adjustable, you have to adjust it. :P

When you say track I assume you mean road course? The only coil overs that will stand up to that type of beating are Maximum Motorsports (what I have on my race car) or Griggs. The other types mentioned are oriented for drag or street driving. Sounds like you have a good plan with the brakes, don't forget to install brake ducts and better pads as well.
