Help with QA1 double adjustables Well, I had a front QA1 "F" shock blow on me, so I ordered a single replacement. Ended up with a double adjustable QA1 somehow. Which is great, but now I have 1 single adjustable (compression I believe, right?) 50/50 F on one side, and will have a double adjustable on the other.
My question is, what setting on the double adjustables for rebound is closest to the 50/50 of the F? I would guess if its 12 way adjustable, 6 should be 50/50, but does anyone know for sure?
Thanks.

Well, I kind of wanted the car up and running again quickly, and couldn't find any info on who rebuilds them. I figured I'd send the blown one out for a rebuild and then keep a spare around, since they seem to go out every few thousand miles. Now with this maybe I'll just replace the other side with a D/A eventually, but I don't really want to spend $350 right now to replace a good shock. A D/A would be nice, since the front bounced around alot after launch with the 50/50s set loose.

That is one of the things I fixed by going to DAs 
I was also having a problem with the front end dropping to fast. all gone now. It is expensive but I sold my olf SAs to fund the new DAs.
BTW the SAs had 14k miles on them no leaks. I got them in like 2001
