Qa1 adj front shocks?? I am in the market for buying new shocks so they can all be replaced.. I was looking on a website and saw the the are called QA1's Stocker Star R-Series front shocks..
Are they only for drag racing?? Is anyone here using them and how are they?
I drive the car hard and want something that can corner also, so the Bilstein level 2 are the other option I was looking at.

First...how much cash do you have to spend.
If cornering is what you want, and money isn't an issue, you don't want Hals. Get the Konis, but they cost alot.
If its just a street car like I have, Hals are fine IMO. I've had them for 8 years and just had my 2 front Hals rebuilt for $120.00 and put them back in 2 days ago. FOR ME, my 100% street car, which I drive hard....the Hals are great. Handling is 100 times better than stock.
I have Hals up front so I can adjust my frint end ride height, but I'm giving my rear Hals to a friend and I have two new rear Bilstiens going in next week.
But like I said...if you want the best handling stuff......don't get Hals.
I;'ll let you know in about a week how Hals up front and Bilstiens in the rear do...for a street car. I expect it'll be great for a street car.

IMO, you would get better results using a GW front ride height kit up front with Bilsteins or better yet with some Koni SA shocks then using the QA1's pm sent.
Ive used the Bilstein shocks before with the GW kit, it's not perfect , but it's a lot better than choice than the QA1 for shock valving.
GW pt# C0-32SS (it comes w/600lb.in. springs)
