QA1 Front & Rear Shock Settings ?

What clicks are you all running in the front and rear?

I've had rear QA1's for a while, I usually drive on the street with 2 clicks on each side. It gives a nice stiff feel for around town. At the track I goto +5 right +4 left from 0. If I need more traction I goto +6r +5l on the rear.

I just installed all tubular front end parts and QA1 shocks and springs. I haven't made any passes yet and I was wondering where I should start with the clicks? I wanna get them wheels up

My mods are in my sig.

Thanks!

On my former heads and cam

fd 3 fp 3
rd 7 rp 9

Slicks were run 14 to 16.

All cars are different and depends on other mods on car plus the weight of the car.

Re: QA1 Front & Rear Shock Settings ?

1 = softest
12 = hardest

I run between 0 and 2 for the fronts, and I start out the rears at 4, but I sometimes run them at 5. You want to go as stiff as you can until the 60ft starts to go away.

I like 2 for the fronts if I can get away with it.
