I'm looking for some really good shocks and have cut down to 2 choices QA1's or Koni's. Has anyone had experience with either? Which is the best for my LT1 Thanx for all the imput!!

 

that's a wide range

w/ Bilstein in the middle

watcha wanna use em for? drag, autox, road racing, just driving

 

Drag and street, mostly drag. I want to knock of as many 1/10ths and have awesome weight transfer. Thanx for the imput!!!

 

QA1 are a good set of shocks.... I have them and i love them. If money isnt that big of a deal, i'd get them

The Bil HD's are great for the money. My best friend just installed them on his car the other day.

 

If the car is a mostly drag car than I would probably go with some QA1's.

 

I run the Koni SA's and they're a great shock, but probably hurt me more at the track than help me. They are a great shock for handling though. I think if I was looking at Drag Racing that I'd go with the QA1.

 

from what i understand, unless your car is an allout drag car, Koni>QA1.

 

If your going to dragrace the car I would go with the QA1's just keep notes for your best street setting and when you get to the track set the front to all the way loose and the rears to medium and harden up from there. when you leave just click em back to your street settings.

 

Maybe someone can confirm this:

I've heard that the major factoring difference in the Koni and the QA1's are is the adjustability. I know the QA1 you can loosen or tighent, while on the Koni I can't seem to find a specific answer, but I've heard you can only tighten them.

If that is the case, the the QA1 would be the obvious choice for the track as you want to loosen up the suspension for the quicker weight transfer.

 

The Konis are double adjustable, does anyone know what that means?? Plus the Konis are guaranteed for life. What about the QA1's??

 

you can adjust rebound and compression on the konis

 

how much would that help over the single adjustables, do you think they are better than the QA1's?? Thanx

 

dont know mine came with them. i can tell you this i sucked at the track.. 14.5 six times in a row. could be the springs though. another guy on here has a 1le and he could only muster a 14.5 too. for the track look elsewhere , for the course good stuff.
