QA1 qestions

searched but all the threads seemed to die off

12 way Vs 24way

do you really need the 24 way in the back? since thats all you really need to adjust is the C?

it will be a drag/street car thats DD'ed most of the time........ as it was before

also will the v8 spring be okay on a V6?

Re: QA1 qestions

if you're going to be DD'ing it you probably wont want qa1. i'd personally go with bilsteins (sam's shocks, not anyone else's) and a spring setup.

if you're looking for the best, knoi's are probably it. they're expensive, but if you have a lowering kit you're using they're about the only ones that can handle the new spring rates (except for sam's bilsteins). everything else is designed for stock ride height.

i have qa1 all around...i like them personally but they are stiff. i have the 325 rate fronts and the stock rear springs. i'm looking into a set of either 225/in or 250/in rates for the rear.

for the rears, yes...springs will work. the fronts will not work with the v6 because the v8 weighs more and the springs are designed to carry that weight.
