Pretty sure you need a different spring cup to run non-QA1 springs. Not sure why you would want to run a lowering spring on drag shocks anyway, that would be pretty contradictory.

Looking for the cheapest fix at the moment maybe I should just wait another week and get the springs to. Makes sense I guess

Cheapest fix is to leave what you have on there now.
Why do you want to put QA1s on with lowering springs?
