Default Strange vs. QA1 Coilovers

I am in the process of getting all of my suspension parts ready seeing as i have 150,000 and factory shocks on a pro kit. I am either going to go with the Strange Double Adjustable Coilovers or the QA1s on 300lb springs. I would really like some info on the strange kit if anyone has run them.

Hello, both brands are great shocks but the Strange shocks are a much better deal. They hold up really well and are easy to install and adjust. Check our site out, we ahave very competitive pricing on both brands. If you have any questions please give me a call.

Thanks for the quick response. Price is not really going to be an issue, i am more worried about the levels of adjustment and which would be the most versatile setup for street/strip.

Get the strange, had the QA1s, and more shops/sponsers here can rebuild them than the other. I swaped out to Konis SAs and the QA1s came apart. There was no rebuilding them. The piston came out of one and the top extention came off both. The nuts stripped which made it more difficult to take off. Mu QA1s bushings on the bottom kept coming out also. Dont know if anyone that have the strange shocks have this problem. But I do alot more street driving than strip. I ran the QAs for a few years.
