Default keep the old or get some new

i have a 93 ex coupe. i have tokico blue illuminas with neuspeed springs.now my question is one of the struts is blown and im debating on getting new suspension or just buy one new one? my goals are this is a everday driver so has to be comfy but also want it for drag and autox. should i go with adjustable struts and keep my old springs or get a completly different set up? if get a new sut up what setup is recommended? i have only autoxs once so im just getting into suspension setups now so i need some help and if i would get adjustable struts what should i have them set at for autox and at a drag? thanks for any help

did you like the feel of the suspension at that autox you went to? if so it would be smarter and cheaper to just replace that one shock.

There is no such thing as a tokico blue illumina, there's a blue and an illumina (yellow) afaik.

If you can get one cheap enough, then grab it.

In racing conditions, I'd try the stiffest setting on the shock and check how it handles. Also, are your springs progressive?
