I don’t like talking bad but “BFH Mod” is a term? I must be hanging out with too many old people on 2nd gen forums haha

For just a daily driven street car, the car handles amazingly good. If I was into road racing I'd get whatever was needed for that.....

I never measured, but I will next time I'm home.

We've had this conversation before and Im not going to argue, but you can buy ground control coilover sleeves for way cheaper and put them on an actual good shock (that is gas charged) and have significantly better ride and handling.
Ive heard people say they think their QA1s handle "fine" or "good" and then they ride in an fbody with actual good shocks and their heads explode because they didn't know how well they could actually handle or ride with the right parts (that cost no more).
Last guy that had QA1s that I gave a ride to when my car was on Koni sports and everything else was stock was saying that I must be hiding a cage behind my interior (because the car was so solid with no rattles) and did some kind of corvette suspension conversion because there is no way just shocks made that much of a difference.

Don't remember talking about that.

Who sells "ground control coil over sleeves"?
Do I keep my current springs?

Are they adjustable for height like the QA1's....?
