My first priority is simply completing my swap (4 cylinder coupe, V8 coupe donor car)

however since I had to replace much of the suspension components anyways I purchased a set of FMS "B" lowering coil's for my car, the shocks/struts I assume I should use from the V8 car have 120k miles on them. If the car doesn't ride the way I want it to, what would be a good shock to get to match the springs I have? The car will also have welded in sub frame connectors, and a strut tower brace in the front.

I would like to build this car into a autocross / drag friendly combo, while still retaining good street manners.

i have strange adjustable struts and i think they're awesome. 10 way adjustable i believe to go from drag/street/auto x. Priced right at 119 each.

Koni yellow's are great for the corners, but hardly drag racing friendly....I suggest some 5-way adjustable Tokico's...Its an all around good shock/strut...They're not too expensive and offer lifetime warranty and are adjustable for all your needs...
