What are the most apppropriate shocks for everday driving that will compliment the Sportlines.

 

I would suggest qa1's. You have to buy a special spring perch to make the springs fit the shocks. Qa1's work great being able to adjust preload to set your height.

 

What about some Konis? I'm debating the same thing right now.

 

I have the qa1's on the front of my car. I can tell you that you cant get much better than them. I would be supprised if the koni's could compete with them. Just my opinion.

 

riiiiggghhhttt....

I could easily tell you to run an expensive shock because it's the cat's ***. And Koni and QA1's are about the same price. Anyone wanting to why you'd want Koni's over QA1's, feel free to call me. It's been posted before (you can search it), and I don't want to rehash it all, but let's just say QA1's don't even have some of the modern items in them like, gas pressure, and the adjuster is a very simple, coarse piece. Easy to make a shock softer and harder (and they do), but very hard to get a shock to give the control you want while not beating your kidneys up.

Bottom line, and I said it before, Sportlines springs are a limiting factor. You could spend big bucks on something (and I'd be happy to sell it to you), but you won't get the maximum out of them, and stand to hurt them by way of such little travel and soft rates.
