I have a 408 going in the car with a built A4 and I think a set of QA1's would help my 60' even more, am I wrong? I know this has been discussed, but with the new search limit to 4 chars or more, I could not easily search for HAL or QA1.

What do you guys recommend for a good street/strip setup? I dont want to compromise my street handling too much but I want to be able to launch like a **** at the track.

Should I do front and rear shocks?
Or fronts only and have stock springs in the back?
Or back only?

I have no clue?

Thanks

I don't feel i gained much from the rears. Car handled great with the hals up front, hal springs up front and no front swaybar.

I run the QA1's on all four on the street and strip. Since the QA1'a are only single adjustable you will give up some handling on the street. Setup properly with the correct combination you will see the benefits at the track with QA1's.
I installed the fronts first and saw little 60 ft gains at the track. This was with a air bag in the rear right. I installed the QA1's and when set to 6 in the rear and 1 up front (along with a 3800 converter) I pulled a 1.57 60ft on MT DR's. I backed it up with a 1.61 and a 1.63 60 ft. So I think they work.

I forgot to mention this is with a car that is lowered nearly 2" with stock TA springs (rears are cut).

Drk what do you have done to the car? I thought the QA1s were 12 setting adjustable?

Don't just get regular hals.. Get the "R" series if you plan on racing a lot.. i heard they are better on the rebound.. don't want that front end slapping the ground if your pushing a lot of power.. Unless thats what you meant by getting hals..

Just want a setup that will optimize my 60'
with the ability to set back to near stock (tighter settings i guess) for the street

Yea i believe the "R" series are set up like that so they have an adustable rebound and stuff.. so they go up nice for weight transfer and come down nice and easy.. and the r series are 12 way.. so you have a lot of settings
