Ridetech VS QA1 Need Help
Okay guys I have have a decision I need some help with.
On the rear of my 32 ford I need to get a set of coil overs. It will only be driven on the street and just cruised. I currently have a set of custom valved Ridetech shocks on the front.
Below are the specs of what I'm looking at and the price difference is $245.00, QA1 being cheaper.
Ridetech HQ Series coil over shock with 225lb Ridetech/Hyperco springs.
QA1 Proma Star Adjustable coil over shock with 220lb QA1 Springs.
Please give me your thoughts.
Thanks

I just installed Vikings and really like them. Their founders left QA1 and are US Manufactured and seem very high quality. They offer double adjustables at the price of single from the other companies. Each can adjust 17 different settings. In just a few iterations, I had mine dialed in well.
I bought four corners, which include double adjustable shocks, Spherical joint bearings for each end, springs, torsion roller bearings for springs, etc. with wrenches for about $210 / corner.
I'm a hobbyist but build cars on going, so I was setup as a dealer.
They sell their own springs, but are probably re-branded.

I have Ridetech all four corners of my 1935 sedan. Originally I had QA1 in the front and was never able to get them dialed in to my satisfaction then they started leaking oil. They have been under the bench for many years now.
Customer service is awesome at Ridetech.
