Default QA1's advice, and need the hook up!

Looking to buy all around QA1's all around just need some info. OK, well Im running a LQ9, with the exta weight what kinda springs should I go with? Also If any one can offer a discounted price, I will buy from them just trying to get the whole set at one place. I'm wanting the R series for the front, and 12 way adj for the back. Thanks!

im sure youd want something in the 325ish range maybe a bit higher. Im no suspension expert but someone that knows alot more than i do said for my car to run the 300 instead of the 275 so with your extra weight im sure the extra 25+lb of spring rate wont hurt

had 275's up front when I bought the car, bottomed out quite a bit, got tired of constantly watching for small bumps and what not... Switched to 325's and have not bottomed out since I put them on... QA1's on all 4 corners...

That is what I was thinking, was hoping one of the guys who deal with this often would give me some advice. Im sure there are some LQ9 guys out there with the same set up im looking for. Just trying to get it right the first time.. lol I have said that alot in the past

Did you change the rear springs also or just stock?

I honestly don't know what the rear coils are. They were in the car when I bought it, never had any issues, so never checked.. Sorry..
