Default front suspension kit>?

hey guys im looking to do the suspension on my fox ext, (it is a drag orientated car) i plan to do the whole 9 yards, k member coil over and the likes. my question is, is UPR pro series kit a good choice? or should i (i dont want to) dish out the money for a racecraft set up (4x's as much) or is their another vendor out there i should look at? thanks for the help

ok thanks for your help. do you know what kind of struts you use? do you just get regular struts and put the coilovers over them or is it a special coilover strut that is needed?
