You guys are scaring me now. 
I thought with the front QA1s and drag springs, you could have your cake and eat it too. Like I said, I have the stock 29k shocks on all corners, with the Eibach pro kit. Plus the suspension mods in my sig. Although the right rear airbag is not listed. The rear shocks and Eibachs are staying on for now. Maybe I'll just throw the stock front springs back on for now and see if it helps. I just don't want the front to sit to high, compared to the back. Anyone know what the stock rating is on the front springs? And if I do go with the QA1s, should I spend the extra money for the Rs? Thanks, Rick.

Thanks, Rick.The "R" series are fixed-firm compression with an adjustable rebound..designed for drag racing
The QA1's are eating your cake and having it also....My 94 was originally a road race car when I bought it....it had theBilsteins, Eibach sport kit, big hotchkis sway bars...and the car rode like a$$...very harsh over bumps and transitions in the road.....I have since ditched the front sway bar, added the QA1's and 275# springs. I have driven the car around town with the fronts on "0" and the car doesn't drive that bad even on skinnies. But with the shocks set on 6 the ride is very close to stock. When you get them installed start on 6 if the ride is too soft go up 1 click, if it is too harsh go down one click.
edit: fixed description of the R series shocks

The "R" series are double adjustible...they let you adjust the compression and rebound on the shocks.

Your, talking about the stocker star "R" series right?? these are not ride hight adjustable right?? and you can use the HAL spring on the "R" series right?? sorry for all the Q's but the Gen F and R series are confusing to me all I wanted was a 90/10 shock with their 275# spring are you running this set up.
I am running the F series with the QA1 275# spring
