R, don't even think about the F series for a race car.

if you got the scratch i'd look at a double adjustable like the afco or what not.

QA1-R's here....If all you care abouting is drag racing definately go with the R's. They're basically like a single adjustable 90/10 drag shock. For an all out setup get some strange or Afco double adjustables

I just installed the new qa1 double adjustable struts in the car and really like them.They
replaced the leaking f qa1 struts I had.You can set them to act perfect on the street
and with 24 settings of compression and rebound dampening there is plenty of adjustment for the track.I will rebuild the f sturts to r specs and sell them to recover
some of the money .

A little over six bills for the pair local,needed them quick and they are made in town.
I was going to buy r's but the factory was out of stock,bit the bullet and got the doubles.
