Default QA1's 275lb front, stock v6 rear(springs)

Like title says, who's running this set up? How does it work? It will be replacing sportlines and i will be using kyb agx's with it, until i can afford QA1 adjustable's.

Any info you have would be great. Thanks in advance...

Unless you are on the aluminum block and have a lot of other weight reduction I would not suggest the 275 spring, or the QA1 shock. There are better shocks for the same or less cost. Give us a call... you may be surprised how affordable the good parts really are!

My car is gutted in the front end with tube suspension but I have an iron block. I'm running strange singles with afco 275's and it loose, but stills handles fairly decent to be honest.
