I've got the 24 way double adjustable QA1's, they're great.

Best bang for the buck IMO is the Strange Double adjustables! Can't beat the price and work GREAT!

These are the ones I've got and what it says off the QA1 website:


Double Adjustable
Truly independent compression and rebound adjustment.
576 Waiving Options
Includes 24 positions of compression adjustment on one ****, and 24 positions of rebound adjustment on the other ****. Each **** is clearly labeled with an "R" for rebound or a "C" for compression, as well as plus and minus symbols for ease of adjustment.

would i have any problems clearing Fikse FM5's 17x9.5 Front and 17x11 Rear. also this is for a mostly daily driver if that makes a difference.

What is your goal w/ the car? All I've seen here is drag race set-ups listed.

wavechaser2007

Good daily driver that rides good but still has a really aggressive feel

Then count out all the above sugestions.
Do you think you need a coilover conversion to get this?

Bilstien HD's and a set of BMR, or UMI springs will get you what you described above. But w/out you telling us what you have now, thats a best guess.

If you're not going to track the car then some konis with strano springs is the best setup you can go with. Strange and QA1s are a more track friendly shock, but you could get by on the street with 300lb springs in the front and 200lb springs in the rear.

Lots more information in the suspension section...

I have the same on the back of my 68 Firebird and my wifes 71 Camaro. The way I see it is 576 ways to screw up your suspension setting, but I would have it no other way.

Glenn98ZM6

Fixed that for ya.

And for a handaling set-up (not drag) 300F/200R ain't even close. 300 F is almost stock and 200 R is almost double stock rates.
If your answering a question and use the term "track", which type of track are you talking about?

For street use w/ good manners while trying to turn, look for 500-550F/180-200R.
My road course only "track" car uses 700F/250R. Most guys run a 225R w/ that 700F. I'm moving to an 800F/250-275R for the 2011 season. I ran Bilstien HD's w/ the springs listed above for almost 2 years. I moved up to a rebuildable Bilstien race shock a few years back.

Drag, track, Mexico... whatever you wanna call it.

Couple buddies of mine run the strange dual adjustable shocks with 300lb springs in the front both at the track, and also on the street and have no issues with them and they handle well. I guess "well" is a subjective term though... Seems like the OP is looking for a corner carving setup.

Glenn98ZM6

This is what I call a track:

But I got money that says your set-up will not work at this track.
So no, drag, track, Mexico.... whatever is not enough. I was open minded to ask what type of use the car was gonna see. You (and a few others) assumed it was for drag racing.

For some reason i thought u had other ones?

If u look at stranges part number's they have a "drag only" shock and a normal DA.. I have plenty of customers that use strange on Drag Race or street, and SCCA.. By the way you are talking then u know its all in the setup and adjustment, spring rate etc etc... My personal opinion, Koni is the best way to go in either route, but.. Not many will spend the money on the Koni pro series shocks, or any of there other ones..

And yes some of us assumed it was for drag race, but some of the shocks listed will go either way. Spring rates, maybe not.

wavechaser2007

im even more confused

wavechaser2007

right now i have eibach sportline springs and kyb adjustable shocks

State what you want to do with your car to give everyone a better chance at giving you the right advice. There are different types of coil-over setups for different types of driving.

If the intended use for you car is mainly street driving and corner carving, then IMHO, like I said before, konis are hands down the best.
