Both are crap. Save a little extra and get something worth your money.

Yellows/GCs would be the next step up. If you MUST have threaded-body coilovers APEX'i and Tanabe make good stuff but they'll be more expensive than Yellows/GCs and probably won't perform as well.

Ah. You'll need shocks with rebound adjustment and either costom spring rates or "drag launch" springs. Maybe Skunk2? They've got a lot of drag experience.
