what rear spring/shock combo for street/strip? I have a 00' WS6 with bone stock suspension, will be getting SFC's and LCA's soon. What would be the best rear shock/spring combo? Car is a daily driver and will see the track about once a month. I drive 50miles per day so it needs to ride decent on the street. I've been looking at the QA1's but i'm not sure what exact ones to get. Car makes 500rwhp on the bottle and i'd like to run slicks at the track. All suggestions are appreciated.

I would definitely run the QA1 shocks, I run the single adjustable and they work fine, the double adjustables are nice because you can adjust compression and rebound, but IMO the singles are fine. For springs, I would try to find a set of rear springs out a 93-97 V6 F-Body, they are softer and will help in traction, or you could just run stock springs....

Yes, the V6 springs are softer so they will squat down a little more than stock. Are you wanting to leave it stock height?
