QA1 Rear Shocks... Single or Double adjustable?
I can't say for sure it applies to the f-bodies but the reason I never did Hals on my car was reports that the seals will blow if you drive a b-body in cold weather. I saw a number of complaints and emailed the company and while they didn't admit it was an issue their reply was basically they were unsuited for daily driver use here in Wisconsin.
I figured I would mention it since a "bolton" car in Mass. will likely be driven at low temps, maybe not the sub zero we get here but low enough to maybe ask around and see if the same complaint applies to the f-body.

Single Adjustable QA1 12 ways on the back of mine. I cut 1.50-1.52 60ft on motor (nitrous converter) and 1.36-1.40 on a 100 shot.
I dont see myself changing rear shocks anytime soon, but I will be going to double adjustable fronts so I can adjust the compression of it.
Here is a video of my car at cordova, the first pass I had the fronts too soft and you can see when it came down the front shocks just gave to much, a DA shock really could've saved me there. I tightened the fronts and kept it down. The Rears were set at 8

I use the SLP Bilstien shocks in the rear and Koni one way adjustables (rebound only) up front with the SLP progressive rate springs all around and it does pretty well at launching on a nicely prepped track. It leaves as flat as a board however...

Sounds like single adjustables are the way to go. I'll be buying a used set today.

I am going to go against the grain. I would go with the double adjustable if given a choice. You said you would get a good deal on them and that would seal the deal for me.
Granted, my car runs on the bitter edge due to rule restrictions, but it also one of the best working stock eliminator cars. I would rather have the ability to adjust and not need it than to not have it and need it.
