Hello
Like mentioned above. The best street/Strip set up is the 300 lb springs for sure. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer.

What front coil-over do you have? If by chance it is the R Series they are only valved for a 275lb spring. If its the F Series then you will be fine!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
Brad

The only way you can run a stocker spring on the QA1 setup is to use one of our spring cups.

The listing for the cups can be found HERE

Another option to the QA1's are the Strange units. We have used them in for a variety of different applications and prefer them over the Qa1 shocks.

The listing for the shocks can be found HERE

I dont daily drive my car but I drive it a lot on the weekends and nights during the summer. I run the r series coil-over set-up up front with the 275 spring and never had any issues. I also run skinnies up front if that matters. The rears are the f series with stock springs cut down.
