Hey gang
I'm putting the suspension together soon for a new project (sig). Looking into either the strange or qa1-r fronts, but the cars street driven all the time and I'm wanting the better ride that won't hurt track performance too much. Will the car ride that much better with stock springs over a 300lb front spring? Also, can I adapt the stock springs to work on both of these shocks? I know that BMR makes the spring perches to use with QA1s, do they work for the strange shocks? Tried a search, didn't find anything concrete. Thanks

Been on the fence on this one. Also wont be putting miles on parts. We will see.
I also run a 10 way QA1 in the rear as a reference.

Hmm ok. Wonder if the wobble could be from something else? Alignment or something possibly?
I'm trying to keep this fairly budget, probably give the Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks a try first - same as the CE's without the funky adjustment. If they don't work for some reason, I'll get some qa1s or strange for the rear eventually.

Thanks for the reply. Are the strange rear shocks that much better than a standard 50/50 shock...or should I try the cheaper ones first?
Could you shoot me a quote when you get a sec on those strange shocks and 300# hypercoils and whatever else I need to put em in - spanner wrench and bearings or whatever too. Also noticed you guys deal Billet Specialties, could you also PM me a price of the 15x10 fbody specific rears as well as 17x11s as well? Still undecided on which I wanna run this car on
