So lowwwww

I just put QA1 Rs in the front with 300lb springs and the car sits so ungodly low. We have messed around with them a ton, moving the spring perch up a lot and still nothing.

Does this look right? Was your perch farther up?

I better not have to use spacers... I just want to know if other people's spring perches sat higher than mine for stock ride height

I think mine is up 49 threads from the bottom for a 1" drop. It will be about 1" - 2" from the top of the threads..

Wow I like that...adjustable spring perch? So it just screws up and down on the threads?

Why don't people ever talk about these when they want a drop without increasing spring rate...must be something I don't know.

QA1 coilovers are expensive,but well worth the adjustability in both shock stiffness and ride hight for muscle cars...so i can imagine what they can do for our f-bodys.

I have the qa1 shocks with the eibach pro kit, and the spring perch is very close to the top, but it is not a nice ride at all, I am at a loss as what I should do. Any suggestions?
