I was just wondering how this setup was for the street? I just ordered a complete set today and wanted to know the pros and cons of these on the street. Will I have a problem with the springs that come with them? I hear they are super soft. I don't want to have any problems hitting my longtubes or k member. What settings do you guys find to be the best for the street and what do you use for the track. Thanks for all the advice guys.

I adjust them for street driving.

I put them around 6 (1-12 positions) which is like the stock 50/50 setting.

Try them on 8 (extra stiff) it's neat.

I don't like the QA1 front springs it makes the car nosedive too much but oh well. I would rather have kept the stock springs in front.

So you would rather have kept the stock springs in the car instead? I want to only do this once instead of twice. The springs are to light for street driving? Do you have a problem hitting your k member because of the nose dive? I thought this setup was suppose to be the best for track and street? I hope I did not throw away $700.00 for nothing?

to do this over again, i think i would have gone w/ the R seties fronts. they are supposed to be a true 90/10 shock rather than the regular fronts. it's the re-bound rate that kills ya on these. i love the adjustability, however, they dont plant the tires hard enough on the street. (just my opinion)

I have them all the way around on my '02 and front only on my '94. I keep them on a street (mid) setting and they are fine. (7 front, 6 rear)

With my '94, I kept the stock front springs and just modified the perches. (Thanks for the tips PSJ).

On my '02, I have the supposedly newer, smaller "Mustang" type coil-overs by QA-1 and they are not too bouncy. In fact, they are kinda stiff. I've been told that there were larger ones that first came out for the F-body and think those are the ones people are complaining about for street driving.

I've had QA1's on my car for four years.

If QA1 has different front springs now I'd like to hear how those are on the street.

Are the R-series adjustable or 90/10 all the time?

I have had them for a little over 6 months. Fronts @ 4 Rears @ 3.

Thanks for all the great info guys. I will try the Hal springs and see how they work for me.

was it the springs that caused this or the fact that the 50/50 shocks weren't set stiff enough?

I'm hoping the R-Series 90/10 shocks I just got won't have that problem.

They dont ride that great on the street IMO. Tried all settings.

(all 4 shocks and front springs)

You do get some bounce with them on the street because of the springs. I keep them on 2 front 3 back for the street. For the track 1 front 2 back seems to work the best for me. The car does not ride as good as stock no matter what setting you use but the reward pays off for sure. I am not sure how well the shocks work with stock springs or others. But I am happy with my setup.

I agree with that. I had them on all 4 corners and it rode like ***.
