Default Spring?

Just got a set a 12 way adjustable QA1 shocks for the front and back of my car. I'm wondering what springs guys are using that are good for a street/ strip setup. Thanks.

Hello, for the front a 300lb for the street/strip car and for the rear stock style spring work great.

Here you go, you can't go wrong with the Hypercoils!
You can use these with theQA1 DAs If you use the upper mount you got with the shocks.

FYI, The DAs are 24 way adjustable not 12 way
