Default Street/Strip coilover setup?

I am at a bit of a cross roads I am going to be running 24.5"x8x15 slicks for the first time this year and my car sits way to low.now I am going to switch to coilovers but I gotta make sure they will go high enough to clear the slicks and not beat the teeth right out of me on the street.I know not everybody is running a full on drag car so I am basically looking for some suggestions.The setup will be going on a ek coupe.

You have proggress, omni, and skunk 2 which are some of the coil over options that have street strip options.

I switched to Skunk2 on both of my cars and I must say one of the best things I've done.

Omni's are great for the money and so are the Pic's. just make sure you get the right spring rates for your car. you are going to have to compromise in order for the car to be good on the street as well on the track.

My omni drags are great for driving on the street. Its very firm but never has any uncontrolled bounce to it, handles great, makes the car track so much straighter under load. It really sucks I wasted so much money on single adjustable 'street' 8k/6k suspension setups in the past that have cost about the same.

Would have bought the blox drags instead but they were back ordered, the blox drags was what originally sold me on the 12k/18k double adjustable suspension. I helped my buddy build him a 10 sec street car and he has the blox's and consistently drives it like a retard on the street. I've seen that suspension save him and that car a few too many times, they seem to be very forgiving to say the least.

I'm building my girlfriend a ek hatch and the first aftermarket part I put on the car was a set of omni drags.
