Personally I'd go with the adjustable QA1 hal shocks, i've read nothing but good about them. I wouldn't worry too much about your rear springs, unless you are going to lower your car they are hard to find.

thats horrible advice. he has a front suspension and other supporting mods that are setup for cornering and your telling him to get a rear setup made for drag racing..


everything looks great except for the rear shocks/springs...

together they go well, but as far as the rest of your setup, its a bit mis matched. what do you want to do with the car? drag race? just street? some auto-x or canyons?



or call Sam Strano and talk to him about anything/everything you want to do with the car and he'll set you up

My advice would be to call Sam Strano also.

I would get new rear springs(talk to Strano for his suggestion) and get konis for the rear also.

you might as well look into getting some koni s/a rear shocks and ground control adjustables since you've got them on the front...



but this will give you a mainly cornering setup...you can still pull some good times at the track though..just won't be getting the optimum or best times/results
