Aldan vs Q-A1 shocks ?

[rattlesnakepete]

I just replaced my coil overs with QA-1. I ran the bearing type in the rear and the bushing type in the front. I selected the Promastar single adjustable. I will try them in anger this Friday at Portland IR. Based on my test drives they are much more quiet then what I had before. No squeaks.

Another option is the Varishock which is made in Sacromento, CA. They are a little more expensive then the QA-1 but you get a little extra for it. They have more space around the mounting eyes which will help mounting to the rear end on your lonestar. They are also 100% american made. The springs on my QA-1 say made in china.

I went with Gordon Levy's single adjustable Konis and Eibach springs replacing Bilstein coil overs.

Night and day difference. But very expensive.

Worth every penny.

I have yet to make up my mind. "Speedway Motors" is local to me. In the catalog, the QA-1 do not have a name like "Proma Star" and the counter guy's did not know either. It just Say's, "12 position, adjustable street rod coil over shocks" So, I have no idea if their the Proma Star. The good thing is, if I pick the wrong springs, I can take them back for a different pair. They are $400 + tax.

I would appreciate you guy's that use these to look at them on-line, or if you have the catalog, and see if their the same shock you have.
