So you can actually see the car lift the front end harder even on the street just driving around?

Yeah. I have the MT DRs set at 20psi when I drive it around on the street. I also have full suspension that helps as well.

I have pretty much everyhing but front stuff. No sway bar. It does transfer pretty good, but I think there is room for improvement and I was hoping QA1s would do the trick.

What is the diff between R's and F's?

The "R"s are 12 way adjustable like the "F"s but they have a fixed compression and adjustable rebound. They don't slam back down like the "F"s are known to do, they come back down slowly. When you adjust the "F"s, you are adjusting both the compression AND the rebound which causes that.

I have 300 frts and I don't think I would like the 275's as my car is a pig. If I set them on 1 or 0 it is way to soft. They are not the "R" series. I have 275 Rr's and they are way to stiff. They are also cranked up all the way to fit the 28" ET drags. It has tons of preload. Making it ride like a log wagon. I hate it. I'm looking to go back to the stock springs and get the dual adj shocks. I hope this will help the ride on the street and the launch at the track.
