I was recommended Strange over QA1 as well. The chassis guys said that the Strange is more responsive to adjusting. "one click of the **** makes a big difference compared to 5 clicks to make a difference on the QA1", as was told to me.

I use strange but had QA1 i like the stange better. Just an issue i ran into WillyZ aka William C a buddy of mine had the **** on his QA1 go bad and we ask a QA1 tech guy at a race to help us out he said it would be over a 100 bucks hell the shock wasnt much more and they was very rude just an experance i had he may have just been having a bad day.

Strange has the availability of the stock upper spring perch setup, or the drag race style setup.
the drag race setup uses a 2.5" id standard coil-over spring and eliminates the rubber spring perch. the coil-over springs are available in several lengths and weight.
the most common stock upper mount spring is a 300 pound, which Strange sells as well. the QA1 springs in 275# and 325# will work on the Strange shock if the 300 is not what you need.
i have the best deals on any shock/spring combo you need. pm me or call the shop.

the double adjustable shocks are compression and extension adjustable. the double adjustable shocks work well on cars that tend to get the front tires off the ground and have higher trap speeds. the double adjustable shocks when tuned properly can aid cars with downtrack traction, especially 6 speed cars that see alot of suspension travel during gear shifts.

Every car we do starts with a single adjustment in the front, and if its a stick car or limited tire auto car a double in the back.
