Strut Replacement
My car has 42,000 miles on it and I was reading a post that recommend replacing them at 50,000 ish miles. Since I am pretty much replacing all of the rear suspension and the front springs I figured I might as well replace the struts now.
Anyone have a some suggestion on which ones. Car is street driven, 1/4 mile tracked twice a month, stick shift, and doesn't see many curves do to where I live. Here is a link to what some of my options are: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...ly,universal:0) Any help is greatly appreciated.

My recommendation would be to pm JusticePete or Rob@WretchedMS so they could get you dialed in for what you are wanting. BTW, the link comes up with no parts for the car selected.

Thats what I was thinking, just not sure if the stiffer rate is good for drag racing,

I was looking at FE5 to stiffen up; but I also road race and auto cross when not at drag strip. If too worried about strip; go with coilovers to dial in; or replace with FE4 stock.
