Default Front QA1's, what to do about rear?

I ordered some front QA1 12 way adj shocks and the 275 drag springs for up front on my car, i was wondering what should i do about the rear. A lot of the local guys were saying just go with the stockers, but i know there is something better out there. I was leaning towards just gettin QA1's out back as well but thought i would ask around. Let me know what you guys think!
THANKS

I'm another local guy who says stay with the stock ones ! I personally put QA1 adjustables and cut down the rear springs. Works great.

I'm having the same delemma. I want the QA1 single adjustables up front and in the rear. I want to lower an inch or so. I was looking at the BMR lowering springs. Would this be a good set up?

I have the 12 ways all the way around and it makes for great tunability for the track. My car definitely hooks alot better.

I got my front QA1s & springs on the way. Will i be able to get away with leaving the stock rear shocks on for a while?

But I don't think the CE shocks have **** adjustments. I think you have to remove them and twist and turn but I could be wrong.
