Default QA1's, Strange, or Afco's

I know broad question. Just need a little direction please. I just ordered my S60. Now i need suspension for street and strip not DD. I already have spohn TA, LCA, Panhard Bar. I was looking at the Spohn QA1 rear coil over kit single adjustable. Anyone have it. Car is a M6. Then i heard single adjustable not good for M6. Then i heard QA1's leak buy strange or afco. So many options. My main goal is to have the car launch well and also change ride height back and forth from street to drag and skinnies. So i thought the coilover QA1 front and back would be best for me. Am i totally lost. Please suggest. Thanks.

If you have the money, I would get the AFCOs.

Give us a call... we offer all 3 brands and can give you the low down on all of it. A lot of it depends on what your'e doing with the car and your goals. We usually have them all in stock and have the best deals on about any suspension part you need.

I can get you the AFCO and Strange shocks. I wouldn't bother with the QA1 shocks, as they're junk IMO. If you buy the AFCO's through us, you will get our valving that noone else can get, and you will get our tech support on setting and adjusting the shocks. 225-673-3533

Ive heard awful stories about QA1's and leaking to the point where they leave puddles on the floor. For that reason alone, I'd stay clear of them and get some Afco's if you've got the cash.

Let us know what you end up with for rear shocks. I am in the same position with similar mods ... S60, Spohn T/A, LCA's, PHBR & Drag Sway, UMI SFC's, BMR LCA Relocation Brackets and also M6. I am also interested in coil overs.

If moneys not a factor afcos NO DOUBT. But if you tight on cash strange will do just fine. With the storys i have heard on QA1 i will never buy a set for any reason.
