Re: Goodies Showed up...

QA1 double adjustable front struts. What are they worth with springs? My old SPA1's work but I'd love to have a double adjustable strut. When I installed the SPA1 struts, there were no double adjustables on the market.

Re: Goodies Showed up...

the double qa1s are around 1200 with the strut mounts. They are sweet. I kind of went a little over kill but the car is a 5 speed and I need to maximize suspension adjustment to get it tuned in. I am hoping to get it in the 1.4s with a drag radial. I don't see that being terribly hard with a full slick but it might be a challenge on a radial.

Re: Goodies Showed up...

i'm in for results man i'd love to spend the money on a double adjustable front strut also but can't justify the cost at the moment. i did buy some rear double adjustable shocks though.

what brand kmember and a-arms and such?

Re: Goodies Showed up...

yes I did. Rev it as high as you want and run it in. the higher you spin the motor the smoother it is. now as far as street cruzing goes it takes a little time to learn how to shift with out any kind of bangs, clangs, or grinding. this mod took some of the street ability away from the car but no worries wide open.

Re: Goodies Showed up...

Re: Goodies Showed up...

By the mw66nova sorry I have not gotten the weights up. I seem to keep forgetting to bring the list with me to work.
