Default QA1 Adjustable Shocks - How Adjustable?

Hey everyone,

My car is half a foot off the ground. When i hit bumps or potholes, my rear wheels hit the wheelwell. This definitely can't be good for the car. I had a thread about this a month ago or so.. and was told that stiffer shocks out back would help prevent this. This is my setup: Autofab coil over system with QA1 adjustable shocks. These came with the car, so I know nothing about them. Is this the kind that could be adjusted to be stiffer? Would this fix my problem? Also, how would I adjust them. thanks guys!

Do you have the single or double adjustable QA1'S? You may have to put a stiffer spring in the back.You need to scale the back half of your car, they make three different springs depending on the weight.

How would I be able to tell if they were single or double? I'm not sure exactly what object your talking about. My car is almost perfectly even front and back, and I just don't want the back of the car sky high

On the shock you should have 1 or 2 black adjustment ***** on the bottom. If you have 1 **** its a single adjustable. If you click the **** clockwise it will stiffen it up. If you have any questions give me a call.

You can either lay on the ground next to your car and adjust them , or back the car up on ramps.
