I hear the stranges have more sensitive adjusting on the valving, you change it a few clicks it actually makes a big difference.

I had a set of QA1's on my car years ago. I have access to a shock dyno and threw them on on weekend. They were all over the place. Some of the adjustments made a huge change while others were almost exactly the same. On mine the 4th click was almost identical to the 1st but the 2nd and 3rd adjusted like they should. Put the stange on the dyno and every click made a nice consistant change in the graph. I'll try to dig the graphs out and post them up. The shop owner whos shock dyno I used said this was very common with the QA1's he had done. I can also say the strange work much better on my car.
