answered my own ?, made a call to a few guys who had the set up. the flat part does point towards the ground. I have already intalled them then second guessed myself. what through me off is qa1 printed there label upside down. BTW I love this setup.

also where did you set the front shocks? whats your rideheight?
do you have the stock springs in the rear? did you do the "heater hose mod" ?
edit: do you have the poly or spherical LCA's and PHB? I went with the double adj. Spherical.

chad: since it is winter I have my z06 wheels on right now, draglites through spring and summer (in case anyone wants some) ha ha. as far as where I set the front shocks I assume you mean bound/rebound, right now there are both at 5. you will love the diff. settings. I mostly dragrace in a "streetclass" VAMP heads-up series , so I'm really just looking for a better weight transfer. As far as ride hieght I tuned as close to stock as possible for now, You'll probably need to put a few miles on them because they will settle, mine settled 1/4" over night in the garage.and yes stock springs in rear, i would like to lower later to tuck tires in a bit. Don't know the heater hose mod? sorry. My sig. hasn't been updated for a while so I will tell you what suspention I have: tubular lcas w/ poly bushings, adj, panhard, umi's Fully adj. trq. arm w/ tunnel mount w/loop all CM. And BTW BMR's website has an article about these shocks from GMHT 00' under the QA1 prices. They claim a .3 drop in 1/4 mile time if thats your thing. any more ?s ask. Corey
