Default Best drag coilovers or spring/shock combo?

I have a 92 EG hatch full drag setup.......80% track 20% street. whats your opinion on which coilovers to get or spring/shock combo to run. I've seen the omni drag coilovers. Any input is welcome.

A decent drag setup will not be very pleasant to drive around on the street. The only sort of street driving I would do is from the track to the gas station or something, and back onto the trailer for the drive home, or switch out the rears for something more streetable. The main reason being that the coilovers will (should) have very very stiff rear spring rates.

Omni drag coil combo is very nice

other options would be heavier rear springs such as skunk or gc with some adjustable struts.

I've setup some of the Sport FWD guys with our drag setup. We use the Ksport housings. The next Sport FWD racer were setting up soon is Courtney Green. His car is about the same, 80 percent drag, and 20 percent daily. So the setup were going to make him, might work for you too.
