Default QA1's or Strange single adjustables?
Since their both the same price what should I go with? The car is my daily driver so I would like something that will be okay for everyday. Right now the car has bolt-ons and I'm waiting for my S60 rear and CM driveshaft. Thanks for any help,

Chris

I like my QA1s on the street. Handles very normal. once you find what you like. And at the track they are great as well.

My Rr springs need to be a bit taller. But I think it would take a taller shock to make it work properly. I have it all the way up with my 28s and they barely fit.

What about Varishocks? I've heard they are built better than QA1's and hold valving adjustments better.

Could you give a little more detail about the differences between the shocks? Are you guys going to start selling the Strange shocks? Thanks,

Chris
