Re: drag
When I drag raced more, I had 90/10 and 50/50 in the '85, they were fine on the street, but you could not drive the car hard through the turns.
If you want a drag/good handeling shock, your going to have to spend more to get a multi point adjustable, as Tommy said above. Otherwise, you could do what I did back in the day, I had two sets of shock/struts and springs, and would change them out for what I was planning on doing. This was a few years ago when there were no multi adjustable (other than Koni street/road race stuff) available.

Re: drag
Tokico Illuminas offer you 5 way adjustment and you can get a full set for under $500!

Re: drag
...even the KYB's are a great bang-for-the buck. Get them with some nice springs & you'll be set for all-around performance. Without breaking the bank.

Re: drag
70/30s and 50/50s are perfect for the street. I drive mine and I dont have any problems cornering... considering I hope you are not trying to go 65mph in a corner.???
