Default QA1 rear shocks question

I see most people run stock spring in the QA1 rear. I go to open track race only, NO DARG RACE, NO AUTO-X. I'm thinking about QA1 "F" front and rear w/QA1 325 front spring. But I can't find coilover QA1 rear. If the rear is not coilover, can I run lowering spring in the rear and what kinda spring you guys recommend.

I'm putting them in my V6 bird.

Do you mean the re-valve Bilstein? Koni is not re-valve and cost $720.

Run away from QA1's for road course use. They are drag shocks and will not give you the damping you need. You'd probably be better off with stock shocks for that use than the QA1's.

I know knoi is good stuff since I've them in my GP. But it's kinda steep for $720 shock only. Shox.com have a package $950 for Koni w/B&G spring. I'm thinking about AGX w/Hotckhis spring.
