Here is a shitty pic of mine in the garage, But I have front and rear QA1 Coilovers and love them with 275lb springs up front and 150lb springs in the rear. I can get better pics tomorrow if you would like.

Do you need pics of the shocks or of cars with them?

if your a full weight car or close to it and are more of a street car then go with the 325 or 300 springs

I'm interested in the full coil over kit (front and back). I really want a good cornering car on the street, but I want to know how much harsher the ride will be with these. Also, can these be adjusted so that I can carve corneres on the street, and still get the weight transfer for a good drag launch?

They are known more for their drag racing abilities than handling abilities. The stiffest spring they offer is 325lbs. while most handling setups go with 450-550lbs. So I doubt the ride will be harsh.

Do you know how the travel is limited on these? It seems the shocks are a lot shorter than regular Bilsteins and so forth. Do they have a really long bumpstop? They look so short it seems the tire might rub the top of the wheel well.
