Default QA1 or Strange Double Adjustable shocks?

Does anyone have any experience with both brands to tell me which they recommend? Main difference I see is that the Strange has 10 settings on each **** and the QA1 has 24 settings on each ****. I'm worried the QA1 is going to give me adjustment overload with 24 settings. The QA1 DA's are also new to the market, where the Strange have been around for a while. They're pretty close in price too.

Thanks.

are the DA's available yet? i've been waiting for these for some time now. if so, where did you see them? i've considered the Strange doubles, but i haven't heard what kind of 60's they're capable of and how well they can be set up on cars that are pulling the fronts. any more info on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Dave

I am using the QA1 R or F series fronts now and regular Stars in rear, I cut some decent 1.4's with the little I have done on a mediocre track. I am wanting to swap to the QA1 DA series, whichever letter it is, if nothing more than to give better ride when off the track, as it is now, the front can rise easy but comes down slow and if I forget to reset leaving the track its a PITA to cruise, as well seems like the rear unloads to fast during the launches.

Call Jay Billingsley. Also, 24 settings is ridiculous. That's more settings than I have fingers AND toes. Good luck.

LOL. Thats what I was thinking too.

I have the regular single adjustables on all 4 corners now and want to go to double adjustables.

AFCOs up front and Strange DAs in the rear. I can't complain, but my opponent's can all they want.
