BMR for SFC's, weld in. QA1 12 way adjustables would work great for your car.

Do yourself a favor and call Sam Strano before you make any final decisions. He will talk to you about all your possible options and you will get some VERY solid recommendations. Sam is a great guy, he'll take care of you.

Wish somebody had told me to call him years ago... I'd have saved thousands.

I've had the QA1's and I would stay away from them unless it's going to be a 75+% strip car.

I agree with Houdini , Strano will guide you in the rite direction, On the SFC's for the
vert's, I think UMI's design is one of the best....... they can be bolted in, test fit & then
welded
Oh have you had a chance to dyno the car yet?
I like that head/cam pkg!!

Strano/Koni combo here and I LOVE IT!. You can set the ride comfort how ever you want it and my car handles like it's on rails. Don't get me wrong QA1's have there place, but every car I have rode in with them I was very disappointed in. This comes from a driver that looks for more of a SCCA feel while driving.

I'm running BMR Weld-in SFC's and they fit great!
