Default QA1s with Eibach Pro-Kit

anyone done this or still running it...just curious as to its potential as a combination or if anyone had done it and would not recommend it.

Thanks for your thoughts and input.

Im pretty sure its the same as stock, why wouldnt it be? think about it, its an inch shorter. Therefore you just have to get the seats modified to fit. Being that its a coilover I really see no problem using the prokit. Unless the spring rate is too tight, but not enough to worry about.

I'm not so much worried about it "working" per say; I can modify most things to fit...what I'm more interested in is actually ride quality, drivability and what shys people away from such a combination and if any had done this what factors warranted the switch. Again thanks.

Hals do not need modified with Eibachs, only the front stock shock perch will need to be cut. ThunderRacing sells the modified perches which is worth it IMO.

I have this exact setup with no problems.

Make sure you keep the Hals front shock settings to 5 or higher or the front gets too bouncy.

I have the QA1's up front with Granatelli springs. I set them on 6 for daily driving and 1 or 2 at the drag strip. They ride very nice on the street set on 6.

I'm very happy with mine! It's a good street/track combo.
