Default QA1 Coilovers?

So now that I'm getting my rear down I wanna finish my rear suspension. I was thinking about a set of the QA1 single adjustable coilovers. I was just curious to hear about the goods and bads of the coilover conversion. Also if I go with the coilovers what kind of suspension should I run up front?

Is there any reason you want coilovers in the rear? I have QA1's in the front and they are essentially coil overs because you can adjust the height of the car with the spanner wrenches. After I put them on I adjusted the height, had the car aligned and now it will probably never be adjusted again.

On the rear I am going to stick with stock springs like I have now and just run the single adjustable QA1's. I don't really think there is a need for coilovers in the rear.

i hope this is for a drag only setup.

I also don't see the need for coil overs in a drag setup (or even a street setup really).

just use drag springs or stock springs and QA1 shocks if you are looking for a drag only setup.
