QA1 settings?
Just put QA1 double adjustables on all 4 corners. Does anyone have the settings to start with for the front and rear?? Thanks for any help.

I have the single adjustable, however, I started out on 6 all the way around. I am still playing with them though. Bought them last November from Speedinc and installed them last week.
For me, taking notes of the cars reaction on each individual setting is a good way to keep track of things. I also note the road condition, time of day, weather, ect.

I also have the single adjustable QA1s with stock springs on my 2000 Z28 and have the fronts on 7 and the rears on 4. The front also sits about 1.25" below the stock ride height. Hope that helps you get a good idea about where you might want to start.

I am going to try that combination of settings, too. Thanks.

How does it ride out on the street?

Not to jack the thread but when you guys change the settings from the track to the street, does the car feel completely different? I want to add QA1's single adj on all four corners with 275 springs in front and stocks springs in back but the car has to be able to still handle "like stock or better" when my wife wants to drive it. Since there seems to be a bunch of you guys in this thread no better place to ask.

If you get them, your car will certainly "feel" different. I am running the same setup that you want. I am willing to tolerate more though, since my wife does not drive the '99 and barely drives the '92. When she does drive the '92 she has a tendancy to get happy with the loud peddle.

I agree, once mine were installed, the car had a stiff bounce to it from the suspension not giving (Like the stock stuff).
You can feel the difference when the settings are real stiff, the car will feel like a rock. With the settings set on street friendly, you have a nice firm ride. The suspension makes you feel like you actually are controlling the car, you can feel every part of the road. It is a great setup and anyone would like it.
