Well those QA1 Coilovers definietely dropped my car....
Before:
After:
I replaced the front suspension with QA1 R series coilovers, 300lb springs and the rear suspension I did the heater hose mod with Comp Eng Drag shocks.
I am going to adjust the front up 1" - 1.5", this was a picture I snapped immediately after dropping the car after putting them in.
The rear is a good 1" lower than it was before, I had to stick 245/50 loaner wheels and tires on the car because I sold my Summit stars in favor of 15x10 Billet Street Lites with 28" MT Radials. I think the 28" Radial will help to take up the gap left in the rear.

Thanks Ryan, so just bust out the spanner and start bringing up the front a little, would having the front lower like this hurt the launch performance/weight transfer? And is it better to raise the spring perches with the front loaded/unloaded/or doesnt matter?

Well i guess it depends on how you set them up. I assume you already know u can adjust the height. I just got some on my car. F-gen coilovers for the fronts with 275 spring and F-gen rear shocks too. So far, I like them. I got the single adjustables.

You don't want it that low. Did you purchase a thrust bearing kit with it? If not you will be turning that adjuster for a long long time to get it up, you only get little bites at a time and will be there for hours. The easiest and best thing to do is remove the assemble from the car and screw it up 3/4 of the way up and reinstall it. If you need some help with this call in and speak with Jerry... he has a lot of experience with this set-up and the installation. If you remove and do not have the thrust bearing kit I highly recommend it, its $30 and makes adjusting so much easier.
Hope that helps!
