    coilover shocks

     



    The pinto springs on my 46 coupe have sagged somewhat. I am curious about the QA1 coilover shocks that replace the stock MII shocks/springs. Anyone had any experience with these? Any thoughts?

    I have a set of QA1 coilovers on front and back of my race car. front is mustang 2 set up, with coilovers, not quite the same but close. They are excellent dampners.

    I've never used a set of QA-1's, but I have used a set of Carerra's, they worked out very well. I believe Heidt's still sells the Carerra set up.

    I have been doing some research on coil-overs for my BadAst project and have found there to be some issues with QA1's and leaking seals right out of the box. Also be aware that QA1 has purchased the Carrera brand name.
    I have decided to go with Alston ChassiWorks Vari-Coils. Lots of innovative ideas and, for my application, the package is actually 1 full inch shorter then comparable shocks. Helped out some packaging issues I had...
