Shocks

Question:

I'm looking at upgrading the shocks. The comparison has been narrowed down to QA1 or KYB both have two way adjustments (compression and rebound).

Problem: I cannot find ANYWHERE a comparison between the two or even so much as a review of either brand. All I have been able to find is just the sales pitch that each company gives.

Does anyone have anything good to say about either brand? What about horror stories (concerning these shocks of course)?

Thanks in advance.

What's your primary goal, handling or drag racing?

I would take the QA1's off your list, since it's a drag shock.
If you're getting the KYB's get the AGX adjustables.
