Default QA1's & Hotchkis springs
Anyone running this combo on a camaro? Any pics of the ride height now? Would there be any problems running this combo?

i ran that combo for a while and found out the hard way that those springs have too much spring rate for the qa1's. blew both front shocks in less than a year.

I was kind of wanting to go with the QA1's. I just need to find the right springs to go with these.
