Hello
When you go with a adjustable shock its a trial and error process. Everyone's suspension is different and you have to see what setting works best with your set up. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks

Good rule of thumb is to start in the middle and go from there.

At the track you want to run the shocks adjusted as firm as possible and still hook.

For example on a really well prepped track you might be able to run a much firmer setting then a real slick or poorly prepped track surface where you would soften the setting to help the car gain traction.

Any questions please ask :D

On the street you'll want them set anywhere from full soft, to 2 clicks.

What? Have you tried to actually drive on the street with settings that soft? lol

I set mine to either 6-7 on the rear and 5-6 on the front depending if I use my 18" street tires or race setup. Track is completely different. Like mentioned above it comes down to trial and error depending on your preferences.

Yes, on the street you'll want the QA1 SA rear shocks set low, unless you have really smooth roads, or don't mind the bounce. :nod:

Been there, done that.
