Adam:

Adjustable drag shocks are your best bet or for a better all-around ride, just get 'regular' adjustables.

Lots of manufacturers make either type including Competiton Engineering & Koni Summit sells these too or just check the ads in the Mustang magazines.

The Koni's are supposed to be nice and I've heard good things about the Tokiko's and the Hals too. I'm gonna go with one of those three, the 5 way adjustables, when I get the bread. Supposed to be the best compromise between having a street car and a drag car. You can stiffen 'em up for corner carving on the street then go to the track and stiffen 'em up all the way in the back and loosen 'em up all the way in the front to help with your launch.
