I just bought and installed the front suspension from QA1. I was down in the garage looking at the suspension and noticed the struts said race on them. I just saw that they make a street and race system for our late models. I accidentally purchased the race kit. Is anyone running this on the street? How does it do? I know the car will not handle now but its not a daily driver and I dont take turns fast. Also, it has adjustment but its for rebound from what I'm told. Where do I start with the adjustment? Not quite sure about this but I really dont want to take them all back off and send them back for the street system. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

 

I believe the R version dampens the return of the shock, not the rise. This will allow the front of the car to come up easily on launch (drag strip) and not do a nose dive when the brakes are applied at the end of the track. I ran the regular QA1's and didn't like the road handling at any setting. They're fine if you're really into drag racing, but I like doing corner carving as well as an occasional drag race.

 

They will adjust your compression and rebound at the same time. Best thing to do is take your car out and see how it handles. If you don't like the ride/handling go back to the garage and adjust them. Everybodys going to like different setups/ styles of handling/suspension.

Did you install the HAL springs or the stock ones?
I'm doing my install in a couple of weeks.

 

I used the hal springs. Spring rate 300. Installation was easy,but if you have never done this before, the directions are useless.
