I have double adjustable QA1 coil overs in the front of my car that I had bought maybe a year and a half ago that didn't come with springs. So I called QA1 and they reccomended the 300 lb front springs so I went ahead and bought them. Well they have seem a bit soft since I bought them and after playing with the Compression and Rebound on the coilover itself over and over I've never been able to find a comfortable setting.

Since installing a new iron 408 and F1-A procharger kit, I've obviously added weight to the front of the car. If I hit the slightest dip or bump in the road it sounds and feels like total hell. It's like the whole front of the car is smashing and banging on the tires and it is WAY too bad of a problem to over look so I want to switch springs to something that will help compensate with the weight and take the dips and bumps in the road a little better. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Kody

you could always get some BMR springs for the front. I dont know what their spring rate is. or up to the 325 QA1 spring.

Thank you for the response. Is that the only higher rated spring they have-325 lb? Also, I am looking at finally getting my car to the track this weekend. Any suggestions on exact settings for the QA1 coil overs in the front and QA1 shocks in the rear? By the way, they are 24 way double adjustable.

I am running AFCO double adjustable coilovers in the front with 300lb springs, and Strange single adjustables in the rear with BMR springs. Eric @ Midwest recommended the 300lb springs in the front for me too, I'll have to see how it all works out when the car is running... But from what I've read it's AFCO > Strange > QA1. I am not sure if there is anything rated higher than a 325lb spring, maybe someone else can chime in.

FYI to put a BMR spring on a QA1, you have to have a spring cup.

Seems like the 300lbs would be enough, I have 275s on my car and it isn't to bad, but I had to crank the **** out of them to get the ride height up. You should be able to get it to smooth out with the settings.

I run stock springs with QA1 single adjust. and they work fine. Any combo will work it will just have to be setup right.

I have 325's on my 4000 lb. vert. and it is wallowing out the lower bushing of the shock. Also they are way cranked up to achieve stock height. I may put the original K member and shocks back in.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm stuck as to if I should get the 325 lb springs or try and mess with the coil over itself adjusting the compression and rebound to try and achieve the right setting. Anybody know of a suspension specialist in the Houston area?

you can try swinging by LMR.

I'd try firming up the shock settings, although it sounds like you have already done so. Have you relocated the battery to the rear, as this helps to offset some of the weight you have added to the front of the car? Bob

Yes I've already relocated the battery to the spare tire area.
