You guys ever see or use the QA1 MII front coil over kit or use a QA1 Proma Star AL coil over in the rear? I know you guys like the Carreras. I have the Carrera kit up front and Aldans in back. The QA1 looks neat because it has 12 adjustment positions. I rember reading somewhere (one of you guys said it) that only the Carrera MII kit works because the shock has to be longer. This apply to QA1 as well? Maybe I could just run them in the rear. The Aldans out back are getting a little old.

Curt, I just had the QA1's installed on my SPF. I have not had a chance to drive it yet but the people who have them say its a great ride. He said it would be a big improvement over the blistens. I am selling my blistens with only 600 miles on them for around 300 in case anyone is interested.

Curt,

I have had the QA-1s on my car for years and really like them. I think Old Mexico just ordered some and put them on his car a few weeks ago. I love that 12 way adjustment as you can do it in about 15 seconds. I had Koni's before and the QA-1s are far superior IMHO. I think that 6 of the 8 Cobras here have the QA-1s.

Ron, do you think they are a step up from the blistens, if yes in what way?

Yes Ron, Please tell. How stiff is the stiffest setting? Stiff enough for road racing?
