Default qa1's- what a difference

All I have to say is that my bitch rides out now . with a new spec 3+, and the qa1's. also added new lower control arm relocation mounts. What a difference these things make. anyone thinking about it, I say go for it you won't regret it.

What kind of difference? Just stiffening the ride up, or does is it also feel quicker off the line do the weight reduction?

it is overall a huge difference. I can stiffen them up for better off the line, or loosen them upa bit for a better road ride. and it gives the car a wicked stance.

I have them all the way around, I love the way the car handles, it handles like it is on rails. I will never go with another setup.
