Default Shock/strut choice?help?

So I want to improve the handling of my 1989 5.0 LX and was wondering about shocks and struts. Basically here are the ones I am choosing from...

http://www.americanmuscle.com/tokico...trut-8793.html

http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach-shocks-7904v8.html

http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustan...rut-87-93.html

http://www.americanmuscle.com/kyb-ag...ble-strut.html

With such a price range I don't really know what to get. My intention for my car is basically to build a fast street car that I use for a daily driver with an occasional trip to the drag strip .

Thanks for any input you have. any comments and thoughts welcome!

Cool, price is right and judging by the amount of posts you guys have I can trust it haha. One more quick question that I forgot to ask first. I am going to be purchasing FRPP lowering springs as well. This should not effect my shock/strut choice right?

also save yourself some money, go on summit and look up "summit suspension" and buy their kit. you save like 13% and you get, cc plates, springs, and strange engineering shocks and struts. they come with C springs but if you call you can order whatever springs you want.
