Do you feel your car floating at highway speeds? Bouncing at all? Feel disconnected and loose?
Im just asking because you could do way way better with your suspension setup. The QA1s are non-gas charged drag shocks (seriously take one of them off and compress it by hand and see what happens, it doesn't move and you'll have to pull the piston back up by hand...) and the sportlines don't have nearly enough spring rate for the drop they give, having you hit the bump stops more often and harder. Combine that with a shock that cannot control the spring and you get a poor setup that isn't even all that cheap.

Definitely the first time Ive heard that said about QA1s. My buddy has QA1s on his car and the ride and handling are like a dump truck...

Have a lot of the cars you've been in been drag setups?

Just thought I would help by recommending a better setup that will ride, drive and handle significantly better than what you have, no sense in spending money and not getting the best for it IMO.
