Drag Shock setup
Drag Shock setup Okay i went and got a set of QA1's and springs for the front.. Should i go with the same thing on the rear or go with a less expensive shock for the rear like the Competion Engenering? Just seems to me that the fronts are what really matters and that there are less adjustments on the rear.. Let me know your thoughts on this.. If i had a unlimited budget, it wouldnt be a issue.. but if i can save a few hundered, it can be put to good use elsewhere..
I know how it is having a limited budget, but go ahead and at least buy the single adj for the rear, that's what I did, that way you won't be wondering down the road if that could be your weak spot. I am running Strange Dbl. adj, fronts, and single adj rears.

I was running QA1 R Series 12 way adjustable shocks and Eibach Pro Kit springs on all 4 corners cutting consistant 1.32 60ft's. I run true street also, now I run AFCO coil overs in the front and AFCO double adjustable drag shocks and short drag springs with Wolfe Racecraft adjustable spring perches in the rear.

Elite, those 1.37s are on an et street tire correct? like 9.4" of contact patch...
i'll be running the same class as Elite this year with a similar setup, only i'll be using QA1s in the rear with the adj. spring pearch and not sure what springs yet.

Elite, if you ran 1.32's with the QA1's and 1.37 with the AFCO's, why did you change? Not trying to be funny cause they are pretty close.. was there another reason?
