Default suspension for street/strip

Whats going on....i need a new suspension set up and i need some opinions, knowledge and advice on what to choose. i want to get the most out of my setup, so im looking for the best option to get me the most out of my tires (as far as grip when acceleration and shifting). i have a a 93 eg with a boosted b16 (lsd) with 340whp. im running 205/50/15 falken azenzis on the street and looking to get slicks for the strip; i have replaced all oem bushings with polyuerathane bushings in the front and rear; no traction bar/sway bars, but i do have the rear 3 piece em racing strut bar, along with a skunk 2 lower tie bar. thats probably all you guys need to know for this. what i'm looking for is a full coilover with dampning adjustability, so i could modify the setup when needed, just so the street driving would be tolerable. I don't dd the car, so its not too big of an issue, but i know we all try to get the best of both worlds. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Skunk2 Pr C's offer the adjustability you are looking for.

Pro C's are a Mono-Tube design that feature 12 position rebound/ compression adjustment, that actually show a change at each position, allow separate ride height adjustment from spring position/ pre-load. We also sell additional spring rates if you would like to customize them. They come with 10K (front) and 8K (rear).

Read up on polyurethane bushings here. Most people recommend against them unless you're going to service/replace them annually.
