I've heard the QA1 springs are WAY too loose and bouncy for a street application.
I'm running stock springs with HAL shocks, and it's pretty good. Although I do plan on upgrading to BMR or Hotchkis springs eventually.

I just ordered the HAL QA1-R shocks and HAL front springs...have DMS springs now, will keep stock shocks and DMS springs in rear, and see how it is (I want loose, I only drive it on weekends to street race people, so loose is good).

How did they fit on your stock springs? Did you get those $50 spring cups?
