[chevyrules85]

What do you want to do with the car, drag race, road race, street duty? I have Strange DA's, QA1 also makes some nice ones.

i just installed qa1s and they are set on tight for cornering gonna drop the front more though.....it rips around corners now!:metal:

it will be a street strip car, but i also want it to handle decent, but more towards drag racing...

In my opinion you can't go wrong with Strange or QA1. If you can afford it go for the double adjustable version. Otherwise SA's will be much better at transferring weight than the stockers.

qa1's are what come in the umi kit right? doest it come with everything you need? some other kits come with an upper plate type thing, and the umi kit doesnt picture one, how does the top of the spring work when its installed on the car, anyone have any pics of the umi kit?

IDK what comes with the UMI kit. I assume QA1 and Strange are similar setups. I recommend getting the torrington (sp?) bearings, they make it easier to adjust the spring height. Here's the Stranges with stock upper and lower control arms:

thanks for the pics! so did you have to modify anything? like where the top of the spring sits? thanks!

Those are the same shocks/springs I have. Need to dial them in still. Winter came to fast.

anyone have any other pics or recomendations? about the top mount, how does that work with the coil over kits? thanks!
