coil over conversion
I got rid of the rear air shock problem last weekend and car hooked to a 1.52 60 ft and 6.79 et. with several more 1.5X 60s(thanks to SC for the tips) Since it was working well, I decided to turn the wick up some more and found traction problems all over again. Now I'm back to thinking about some adjustability in the front suspension for my street/strip T/A.
Just wondering if anyone is running the QA-1 coil over conversion and if I should go single or if double adjustable is worth the extra $. |

I am running QA-1 coil overs on my car. I started with them at 3700 lbs street/strip and bought single adjustable with the 350 lbs progressive springs. I now have 250 lbs non progressive springs as I am at 2800 lbs and am hooking 1.38-1.39 60's with hopes of better now that the air is coming around again. Nice thing is ride height adjustability with the coil overs. I do run double adjustables in the rear which really helps fine tuning there.
Not sure how much more advantage would be gained with doubles on the fronts. Weigh your car to match the spring rates.

I am using QA-1 coil oevrs,love em.
I sprung for the double adj because my car is street/strip.With the drag race single adj ones,you can only adj rebound,compression is set. Weigh your car proir to ordering,you need to know front end weight. I went with the 550lb springs and its too stiff but i am still hooking with a 1.50 60'. I am going to switch to a 250 or 350 lb spring now with new motor combo as soon as i weigh it. You can look at Bad69birds car on here,he has the qa-1's and pulls a 1.27 60'. Sooo,they can work!
