Cool Please Help Me Choose Shocks / Struts for 95 Cobra. Thanks, Ger.

Recently Bought 95 Cobra Convertible with 59,000 miles on her. This is what I have decided to buy for her:
1.Possibly CIA.
2.Steeda four point Caster Camber plates.
3.Steeda 35 mm front sway bar.
4.Steeda sport springs, don't know if I am better off with Strano version?
His Linear or Progressive?
5.Shocks, Koni SRT or Bilstein Sport or other appropriate Bilstein model?
I am trying to not get the yellow Koni, heard they are kind of a pain to get just right, adjustment, wish they had a click / number stated.
Car is going to be about 85-90% daily driver / street, 10-15% open track, hpde fun. Are the Koni SRT as good but more compliant than the Bilstein, less harsh than bilstein but still offer good performance for street and some light track?
Need help. Thanks, Ger.

When paired with Sport Springs you will likely be happy with either one, ride quality wise the Koni STR.T will be slightly more comfortable, where the Bilstein will be slightly more performance oriented.
