Mine is running QA1 single adjustable coil-overs in the front with 465 lbs/in springs, and the rear is 400 lbs/in coil springs with QA1 single adjustable shocks. IIRC, front shocks are set at position 5 (4 clicks up from softest setting), while the rears are set at 4. There are no real ride quality issues, no clenching of teeth when hitting bumps, and I can adjust them from very soft to rock hard just by reaching under the car and twisting dials.
BTW, mine has both front and rear sway bars, but I don't see any sign of a rear bar on yours.
I have looked at going to tubular control arms for my Mustang II front end, but haven't yet seen enough value in making the change. Perhaps others could shed some light on the benefits.
BTW, here's a thread you may want to check out: Frustrated Canuck in need of suspension help!! |
Yeah I read that Thread. Still leaves me with questions which is why I posted this thread. I suppose I should take DV's advise and just call QA1 and Heidts and ask. Figured I would ask the forum comminty first. Love this forum.
Also from some of my other reading it states tubular is for looks. I've talked with Shell Valley and I can get QA1 reolacement for the MII i currently have.
