Shocks for an 86 944 N/A swap

Well, racing season is just around the corner, and after completing the 944 swap last year, I want to refine it before the first race. I'm attempting to do the same mod that Super did with his struts, 86 944 n/a strut body with a ground control threaded collar and an eibach 1200.250.0080 spring (12" tall, 2.5" id, 80#) but I can't remember what type of strut to use. I am racing the beetle in autox and hillclimbs so I'm looking for performance parts. I tried searching the forums but came up empty handed. What is everyone else using for their swaps?

BTW, for all those who are using (or are going to use) beetle springs with the 944 parts for the front suspention..... don't. Follow Super's advice and do it right the first time. I've had problems with the steering and the spring moving ever so slightly in the porsche spring seat. 5mm isn't that much, but when the steering binds, and you're racing up a mountain road with no gaurd rails..... yeah. I didn't wreck but easily could have.
