Question Which street/strip front suspention to buy

I want to upgrade my front suspention and go to a coil over setup. I have a Mustang 84 that have a best of 12.45 @ 111 Mph.
I want to optimise my car for the strip but want to keep a minimum of streetability. I want to use the tokico illumina shocks or the KYB AGX. My stang weight 3140lbs with me in the car. I have fiberglass hood and aluminium head.

Here is my questions :

1 - Which coil over kit will work with the tokico or kyb.
2 - Which lenght and springs rate to use.
3 - Which caster/camber plate to use ( Aluminium or steel )
4 - Can i still use the factory A-Arm.
5 - Do on track adjustment on the coilover will disrupt alignement

Tanks to help me buy the right parts

1. Any kit will work, you may have to cut the collar at the top of the strut.

2. 14" length.......you will need a spring rate in the 150-130 lb area. 130#-more strip 150#-more street

3. Any caster camber plate. Im running the stockers.

4. Yes

5. No

* I would buy the Strange 10-way adjustable struts. Only $110 is a steal for the adjustability.
