they make them, but they dont make them. kandied might be able to help you out. i cant get a strait answer out of qa1. you bascially have to buy a set of air struts from air ride if you want qa1's (700.00)and cut the air bag perch off. but the rod is shorter, so it only works on lowered cars???

too much headache, i gave up.
maybe someone will chime in for you.
good luck.

hal has no plans to make market them for our cars even though they do make them. if you want a set the above is the only way and even then your going to have a bit of a time.

you need to measure what your car has, then get a generic strut from QA1.

then modify it to fit.


or you can have them make you a custom set, but then you're paying out the ***.
my advice would be to call them and talk to someone with enough technical knowlage to answer your question.. (aka, NOT a salesman)

^^^ do a search and you will see some threads and posts ive made regarding this.

i talked to pat.... he is the actual engineer at QA1... he has told me on 4-5 occasions(i like to call and pester him) quote, "we will not make a strut for the front of a 82-92 f body. period." when i asked him about them making a strut for airride, he again said that they dont make the strut. period, not even for airride. when i asked him about custom making a front strut for me he said they will NEVER make a front strut for the front of our cars....

now i know and you know that the air ride struts are produced by them, but ill never spend the money threw airride to buy them.

why pat(qa1) cant tell me they make them for airride is beyond me.... its common knowledge, just look at the damn strut in the kits and you know automatically its a qa1.

pat is a douche. he has never givin me a strait answer.

I called QA1 and got referred to a Mike P

at some local suspension company. He just said use the Kona Sports ajusted full soft and a moroso 47210 spring.


P., Mike
5851 Scotch Settlement Rd
ALMONT, MI 48003

These spring seem to be about 220lbs per inch. Anybody know how much softer that is than a v6 spring?

<B>edit</B>
It looks like the choices between a drag spring and the V6 spring (about 350 lbs per I guess), are only the bigblock moroso trick front spring at 250lbs and maybe the 4cylinder spring at somewhere between 250 and 350lbs per im thinkin.
