Come inside 6 speed drag racers
Ok Ive got a 6 speed car and I am looking for some suspension help. I have QA1s all the way around. UMI LCAs, PHB, SFCs. Spohn drag sway bar. My current shock settings are 3 in the back and 7 up front. I was running 3 up front and 7 in the back, but the car would nose over HARD between shifts. I have hypercoil 300# springs on the front coilovers. Do I want the car stiffer in the rear or softer to keep the car from nosing over?

QA1 R-series single-adjustable drag shocks have fixed (firm) compression and variable rebound. Many street/strip cars have QA1 F-series shocks that are single-adjustable but both compression and rebound vary together from soft to firm. You need to know which type you are dealing with.

I am torn on the F or R series for street use but thats something I gotta deal with when I get there. I do have Single Adj in the box waiting to go on

Shifting better will eliminate the nose from droping...
I have 2/3 in front and 7-9 in back depending on track conditions. A few times I had 0 in front at 9 in back when the track did not hook well.
