that was due to some underwater cables being cut during an earthquake off the coast of Italy. where i work we have a business unit in India that does all the tedious stuff. since the net was down over there we had to do all the work they do out there. it was a nightmare.

YAH-HA!!!

Thanks C_Rules

It's a Spohn product.

I'm finding that Speed Engineering has some good pricing on stuff.

It seems to me to get the best trick chassis & suspension parts, a good mix of UMI, BMR and Spohn is needed. They each have at least one goodie the others don't have.

you're welcome let me know if you get them and how they work out for you on our mean streets. i haven't taken the car to the track since i stroked the motor. if the car doesn't hook when the track re opens its good bye kyb adjustables and pro kit. i'll go with a qa1 or strange coil over setup. been reading some good stuff about strange seems like they're a little less expensive and work just as well.

That's cool that you found them, I've bough so much stuff I couldn't remember, and it was a while ago too. I think the pic that I posted up in the first post may be from their site..lol

^^That thing is a pain in the as to stand under and weld in. A friend of mine did it at his Shop, it took a while to do. The right side for some reason didn't want to sit flush..

Yup. Spohn's the maker. You'll find it cheaper elsewhere...

Default DANG IT... but how do they mount to the rear?

do they still mount to the little tabs that the shock bolts to? IT seems alittle much for the entire car to be suspended on just that little guy... especially with the LCA relocation brackets... Is that okay? Im not an engineer, so I dont know... And if it is okay... anyone looking for a brand new set of rear QA1 shocks(not coil overs)? Cuz I like this set up way better... if its sound...

Yea, they bolt to where the Shocks go. Trust me, it's strong enough.

Default Beam me up!

good enough for me! I dont much like having to rip into the interior each time i want to change the shocks... so 1 more time wont hurt, if it means thats the last time. Plus, it seems like the gains are awesome.. when i bought the car it had those ground control spacers in it... they are horrible... unless you spot weld them to the rear... and I never did... so bump bump bump was all I heard... this is gonna be a step in the right direction. Already have the QA1s up front, so this is gonna set me up hopefully...


ANYONE WANT SOME single adjust rear QA1s?
