Help with QA1 Shocks
Moving on to my next project on the car. The shocks are QA1 coil overs out back. They guy I bought the car from said they are the 12" shock with a 10" spring rating at #225. This car rides like a Wagon! Like no shocks at all in the back. The coil spring is already adjusted all the way down on the shock (towards the groung) at the bottom. Front rides nice and smooth!
Few questions-
1. The springs all the way down towards the bottom of the shock it the SOFTEST setting. Right?
2. I see the little black adustable rebound knob on each shock. Which direction does what? Will this even help my problem since it is super stiff?
3. When I get out of the car, step on the rear frame with some good weight! The suspension hardly even budges! Keep in mind, this is my first Rod, but all my muscle cars (air shocks or regular) would all GIVE when I step on the bumper.
4. If you guys think my springs are too stiff. Would you go with the #185's ratings or all the way down to the #140 from my #225's? By the way according to the Speedway book, the #225 shocks are the correct shock for a 5 window 32 with no air.............32 Ford
