Just installed QA1 shocks/coilovers, few questions inside. Well I got a sweet deal from a member on here for rear QA1 shocks and front QA1 coilovers so I snatched them. I also ordered front 300lb springs from QA1 and I'm using my stock springs for the rear. I have my battery mounted in the spare tire area and notice that after installing the rear shocks that with the shocks in the rear both C and R set at 12 the rear of my car where the battery sits is sitting about an inch or so lower than the other side (due to the added weight). Is there anything I can do about this? I'm running 295-45-17 MT ET streets on 17x10.5 Bogart RR10's and I'm wanting my car to sit as low as possible in the rear, am I going to have to roll the fenders? I noticed there isn't but an 1/8th of an inch clearance in between the inside of my tire and the finder well will a hammer fix that or should I have them rolled? Also, to the guys that are using the same QA1's as me what are yall adjusting them to for street use, and at the track?
Thanks for any help,

The rear of our car tend to sit lower in the passenger rear, regardless if the battery is relocated to the rear. Doing the BFH mod should give you the extra clearance you need, but an adjustable PHB is still a good idea when running wide tires.
Street settings for the (24 click)QA1DAs:
front rebound 5-10 clicks, compression 0-4 clicks.
Rear rebound 6-12 clicks, compression 0-6 clicks.
For the track you want a lot of compression dampening and very little to no rebound dampening.

get in the car, and have someone measure the wheel well heights and see if that levels the car out. i have the battery in the same place and when i put my coilovers in the rear i had to leave my drivers side about 3/4 of an inch higher because when i was in the car it brought it down to level
