I have a 2000 Z28 i have upper and lower control arms but dont want to put them in till i decide on what suspetion to get. Ive been thinking about getting the QA1 fully adj i will be getting sway bars. Just looking for some advice if these will be good for what i will be doing. I take my car to the track and like to rip around back roads every once in awhile. My car is not an everyday driver i have QTP lt's with e-cut out's and true dual, subframe conectors so i dont have to much ground clearence thanks for your help

 

The QA1 adj. struts/shocks are more of a track duty item in my opinion and that is where they seem to shine the most. Seeing that your car is not an everyday driver and times you do drive it is at the track then they would make a good upgrade for your car.

 

thanks for ur input but do you think they will give me problems with my ground clearence being my exhaust is like 3 inches off the ground??

 

the front coil overs are adjustable, so you can raise or lower the ride height to suit your preference.

 

As long as they are adjusted to the stock ride height then you shouldn't experience any problems with your exhaust hitting the pavement.

 

are the back adjustable as well i dont remember

 

Does anyone else have any better suggestions on shocks and struts

 

I run the QA1's on the street and love them. But I'm comparing them to the stock DeCarbon shocks.

I'm running a set of 300 lb/in springs for them too.

I keep my fronts set at 6 for street, and 1 for the drag strip.

I don't have the rears yet.

 

Yes, the rears are adjustable as well.

 

the rear shocks are 12 way adjustable, but they do not adjust ride hight.

 

since i cant find QA1 springs for the back what other brand of springs should i get?

 

You can use any springs with the front QA1's, if you modify the stock spring seat to fit over the QA1 mounting nut. And obviously you can use any springs in the back, since they don't mount on the shocks.

If you want a "drag" setup, stick with the stock rear springs, or a set of the Eibach Drag Launch springs. The Eibachs may raise the back end of the car 1/2" or so. If you are into street handling and high cornering G's, I wouldn't use the QA1's, based on my personal experience. There are better shocks available. The QA1's are a decent compromise if you want to be able to accomodate both straight line and cornering requirements.

While the rear QA1's are adjustable for stiffness, they are not adjustable for ride height. For that, you need a rear coil-over conversion kit.

with that rear coil over kit i will just have to eliminate the rear springs right? and with that kit will it harm me at the track?
