whats your pinion angle? and what tires are you using? are u a A4 or m6... what converter do you have or what rpm are you dumping the clutch...
there is too many variables to say it doesnt work.... no one said that the QA1s produce miracles- just slap them on and turn ***** and they work....
its a race car..... and race cars take many, many runs to get dialed in...
im gonna guess your tires arent up to par.... i cut 1.53's with stock shocks and some 28'' MT DR's with BMR Xtreme TA, Sway bar, sfc, and Lca's

ok here we go. pinion is set at -2.5, i have reloctaion brackets for the LCA's and there in the 2nd hole witch puts the LCA's in a -2 decline from the body of the car to the rear, just like madman as stated it should be lots of times on here,
car is a M6 tires are ET Streets 26x11.5.16's, tires set at 17psi cause that where they like ot be on my car. i leave the line around 4500rpms, as any higher the car will spin badly
and i never said they whould work miracles, but was hopping ot see just a little change, and i did not
