maybe i am mistaken on what the r series are then, i thought that the r series were adjustable rebound and firm compression, and that the f series were adjustable the same amount both ways?? are the r series not ajustable at all????????


either way i think i am going to call and adjust my order tommorrow before they ship out. i think i want to run the f series in the back.

the ri series are a set comression, and adjustable extension, the f series are 12 way, and adjust compressiona and rebound together.

I went with the R series fronts because this way if I ever ahve the nose come up a little too far, it will help soften the landing, and I think it will help keep the weight transferred on the rear tires.

ok, went to the track last weekend with the qa1's on and after a little adjusting got them working great. i went friday and saturday, friday was just test and tune so track was horrible, they worked best at 5 in the back and 1 in the front, saturday night i bumped them up to 6 in the back and raised the tire pressure 4 lbs and pulled a 1.56 60ft. i am getting it tuned monday night so i think i might have some left in it.
