Default Best struts for Coilovers?

So when i get the turbo fabbed up i gotta get a K-member and am wondering what would be a good strut to run up front?

It won't be a track car...90% street.

Let me know what you got!

Thinkin of runnin a 12" 250 spring up front..

Bilstein with maximum motorsports coil overs. My brother went with Upr coil overs and kyb struts and they make all kinds of noises. The mm coilovers are made for bilstein struts and fit perfect.

I used Strange 10-way adjustable struts on my 04 GT vert and I was very happy with them. They work well for such an inexpensive setup.

Yea i can't swing the HDs lol...they're insane. Would it be bad to run like the Stranges in the front and run some like Koni STR.T's in the rear? Because i just plan on putting coil overs on the front for now..

Adjustables get my vote, strange 10-way.

I believe the Strange 10-ways are less expensive than the STR.Ts, and the STR.Ts are non-adjustable.

I'd go 10-way all around.

What is your guys opinion about the strange 10 ways in a non coil over setup? Looking to get H&R SS springs and gonna do shocks and struts at the same time
