Default Quick/easy drag racing QA1 question

Which ones do I buy? I see there are a few different choices on that 800-number website (cough cough). I want the 12 way adjustables.

On my car we are about to finish we put the QA1 Double Adj. all the way around. Alot of guys like the R series and the regular single adjustable.. If it was me I would go with the doubles but the R series are cheaper $$. If you want a set give me a call. We are going to run a SALE here real soon..

Depends on what you have for a budget, the 12 ways and R series fronts aren't a bad choice (what I personally bought) but if you have the $ for double adjustables, you will have better tuning ability with them.

I don't regret buying the ones I did, but if I ever have to do it again I will get double adjustables, FWIW.

Rs are for the front only.

You would get single or double adjustable F series for the rear.

I bought my shocks thru speed engineering, sponsor on here. They had the best price going. Burkhart chassis I think is also gonna do ao GP on them soon, may want to check the pricing with them too.

FWIW< I used bmr's spring cups on the front so I could use my stock springs all around, but if I can't get the car to hook I'm gonna put a set of the 300's or 275 lb springs on the front if I have to.

The 275lb springs are fine on the front, but I'd recommend atleast a little weight reduction up front to take away some of the weight on the springs.
I've got the swaybar removed, egr removed, a few brackets, and an oddyssey battery.
