front coilover questions

i have the opportunity to get a deal on some new ridetech coilovers for my duster. i am really leaning towards them. BUT. is anyone running them without a cage tie in? i am doing auto-x,road racing,so i am not sure how to compare to a drag car setup. i am worried about the stress on the shock towers. i am sure i can come up with something of a tower brace. any input on anyone running them on the street or anything would be aprreciated.
