What sould I set my rear QA1 shocks at?

about 5 or 6 is right in the middle or 50/50. thats where most people find the sweet spot. really youve got to take it out and test. but chance are you're not going but 1 click in either direction from there.

I've had the most luck with them on the fourth firmest setting.

I set mine @ 3. But you have to find what works for your set up. I'm a 6 speed with Nitto drag radials & a 10 bolt.

Im going to try and get it to the track soon so I will keep them in the middle and go from there, I figured most guys had them at 3-5.

A BBC is gona weight down the front a bit more than SB, I would leave a little room to squat that rear end to make more weight transfer
