QA1's w/ 275 lb spring question
here is my setup: QA1's all way around, Spohn torque arm(tunnel mount), Spohn lca's w/ relocation brackets, just added Wolffe drag swaybar.
6 speed w/ 26"-11.50 -15,ET Streets, front shocks loose, rear tight
I'm getting ready to head to track again with the new swaybar, my question is reguarding front spring compression, do you want to run the springs loose enough to just carry the front of the car or tighten them up to help lift it?I only have about 12 passes total on the car and trying to get in the 1.4's, so far best 60' is 1.55 with the stock swaybar

The main deal with the springs is ride height
your front end has a constant weight so if you run them loose it will bottom the chassis out on top of the tires to tight and it will sit like a truck
as far as setting the struts if they are the r series single adjustables i like 3-4 clicks from the loosest setting thats what i use on an auto though the six speed may like a diff setup

my car is creeping lol
i really dont have too much more too buy for it (except the main bits for a better rear)
but there is a lot of work that needs to be finished
BUt it was def nice seeing kyles car out and running again that along with that power tour deal rolling through has given me some motivation lol
You have any vids of your car launching??? if so you should shoot me a link and i might be able to help trouble shoot your suspension
its really all i did the second part of last year with my car lol
we will see if i cant come up with something to get you out of the whole a little faster
