Ride harshness with QA1 Is it just me or something i need to fix, or do all QA1 shocks made the ride in the car terrible. It clunks and chatters from hitting every tiny thing in the road. I have the 12 way adjustable shocks, with stock springs. I should also note that i replaced all of my rear chassis with single adjustable parts. Does anybody have any idea why my car feels so bad to drive.

Welcome to the world of poor dampers.... I bet it's actually it's worst on the "tiny" things in the road.
It's not just you. Adjustable isn't the end all, making something softer or stiffer is not very helpful it either won't control the car, or it will but causes kindey failure in doing so. I'd stronly suspect the shocks are the reason it isn't any fun. I don't see anything else in the sig that would or should cause you a problem. And shocks are the key to making these cars work well.

Could it be that my pinion angle is set wrong and needs to be re-adjusted. My front is lowered some from the new springs. And i didnt touch my torque are yet, it is adjustable, bet i left it as it came. Could that be causing me all of the problems.
