I've had 4 suspension set ups in the past two years. I took pictures of all the stances that each combination produced and here they are in the order I had them:

QA1's with Prokit Springs. It looked more like Sportlines, by far the worst ride.

QA1's with Stock springs. Removed rear isolator. It looked good but rode ok.

KYB AGX's with Stock springs. Removed rear isolator and cut 3/4 coil off front. The rear could be a tad lower but has the best ride.

I thought I would post these to help others to know what different combos look like and to show that the 3-pt UMI SFC's can hardly be seen.

Just out of wonder, why did you have the QA1's with the Sportlines? Arent QA1's more or less designed for straightline guys? Doesnt seem like it would be a good combo at all to me, but you acknowledge that by saying they rode like crap.
How do you like the AGX's?

I didn't have the Sportlines. I had the Prokit but with the QA1's it sat lower and the combo lowered it more like the Sportlines. As far as what QA1's were designed for, who knows? My buddy who I bought them from was running a 1.57 60' with H&R springs and it was slammed.
I love the AGX's so far, but I don't think that they would be good with a lowering spring.
