couple questions

I have recently bought several new parts for the car this year, including a re-build kit for the front suspension. When my dad and I took it all apart, it looks as if the springs/shocks should also be replaced. I have done lots of searching over the last couple days and have really became interested in strano's set of springs w/ the revalved bilstein shocks. I figure that I might as well do it right the first time....

My question is... will this be a good set of shocks/springs for drag racing? It is a street car for the most part, but I am more interested in the straight-line stuff. Although....I don't want the car to handle like complete crap. Would I be better off getting a pair of springs or shocks specific to drag racing? Or should the strano pair be adequate?

I should also mention that I am running nitto DR's out back...

Thanks in advance for your input!

Maybe my question was too confusing, let me re-phrase.

What springs/shocks would you reccomend for a street car looking for good drag performance?

Also, I would like the car a bit lower and would like to stay within a reasonable price range (although I definitely want to do it right the first time)....
