I recently picked up a 2002 TA WS6. The car is dropped way too much for my taste. It’s rides horrible. I am planning on replacing all springs, shocks and struts. I am looking for a suspension that will be more incline to a street racing. I’ e been looking at the Qa1 and Bilstein. What would you guys recommend?
Please advice.
I think you will get the best results by talking with Sam Strano.
I wish I had talked to Sam much sooner. He will help you avoid pitfalls of getting the wrong parts for what you're wanting to improve on your car.
QA1 shocks have a good reputation for drag racing. A friend has had two cars with QA1's and neither handled or rode well despite $3,000 of other suspension mod's. I think the QA1 is limited by being an oil shock. Handling and rise will be better with a properly matched gas shock.
I went with all BMR suspension components except the shocks (bilsteins). 1.5 inch BMR lowering springs is perfect.
My bet would be someone threw on some eibach sportlines. Those are what I bought my car with, its a 2 inch drop. THey also didn't replace the shocks or any of the other components. It rode like *** and they removed to bumpstops to give clearance.
It looks badass. Too bad it rides so bad. I have Strano springs and bilstiens and the ride is decent. If I did it again I would spend a bit more on shocks.
