Shocks

[rbgray1]

QA1 is the way to go. You may not want to go dual adjustable, I only installed single adjustable when I installed my coil over suspension. I just think I would be making damping AND rebound adjustments that frequently or EVER.

If I was into Rally Cross or slalom racing, I might. But it's just a fun toy for me.

Assuming I correctly understand your question, I'd say you need to be cautious about assuming shock mounts are strong enough to handle the weight of the car. Shock mounts are designed to handle shock absorber / dampening loads. Replacing shocks with coil-overs means those mounts are now carrying car weight and may well fail - catastrophically.

Cycleguy55 thanks for reply about shock mounts being strong enough. To handle weight of car with bolt on coil over did not think that one throuht i think you are correct will have to study on this a little more. Bulldog

That is good information and something that I forgot to mention. Since I was racing and driving my cars hard, I had the stock shock mounts removed and put in heavy duty ones that would stand up under very hard driving and cornering. Thanks for catching me leaving that out.
