Are the QA1 front springs worth it? I know there's a lot on the subject, including a lengthy write-up from the MADMAN himself, but I still can't figure out which QA1 springs to get, or if they're even worth it over stock. Basically my car is very front-heavy, with an iron block and no lightweight k-member or a-arms. The AC and bumper supports have been removed, and I run skinnies all the time.
Setup is stock springs and QA1 shocks in the rear and stock springs with QA1 "R" shocks in the front. Spohn rear drag bar, Torque arm, and lower control arms, as well as some beefy custom subframe connectors that also connect to the rollbar mount points.
So the question is, do I need QA1 springs in the front? And if so, which? I could definitely use help getting the front wheels up out of the hole, but I'm also worried about the dreaded trip back down. The last pass I made six months ago with stock shocks and springs only lifted a couple inches, but had a real bouncy landing right at the 1-2 and I could feel the control going in and out.
Any help from the experts would be great.
