They are adjustable and you're not just stuck with one set up. Maybe your car would react better to a 80/20 setting instead of 90/10, who knows.

For one they're cheaper and they've got an awesome reputation. The guy at Summit actually reccomended the KYB AGX's, he also told me to put in his tech # so that he'd get credit for that sale . I think he was trying to make some bank. Go with what you want.

If you have the $$$, go adjustables up front. It be nice to have them in the rear as well, but not as nice as having them on the front. As for the springs causing your car to sit up in the front, cut them puppies. The Moroso Trick front drag springs (what I run) are actually made to be cut. I cut mine 1 1/2 coils and run with stock GT replacement rears, 90/10s, 50/50s.
Also, that setup is far from too aggressive for the street. I know of guys running backhalfed low 9 second brawlers on the street regularly.
