AL M Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 While I have the old 10 bolt out and the new 9in ready to go in I was wondering what you guys thought of ditching the rear a/c delco gas shocks for some adj.drag shocks. I already have Sumitt 3 way adj. for the fronts and have them set on 90/10 and dont mind them on the street. When my car hooks my 60ft is 1.54-1.58 now. I have stock springs all around an HR Parts and stuff antiroll bar, Hotchkis adj uppers and boxed lowers too. Any info/experiences appreciated.

Mike 57 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Al, I put double adjustable QA1s on the rear last year, I had QA1 singles on it before. I seemed to help the 60 (1.42) I just put QA1 doubles on the front. They seem stiffer on compression I hope to slow the landing down a little and get some bounce out of it. The best thing for launch is to get a taller and softer spring. I run the Moroso springs, they are scary to put in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waupachino Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The best thing for launch is to get a taller and softer spring. I run the Moroso springs, they are scary to put in! Agreed! If I ever remove mine, They are getting cut first. The portential energy behind them is incredible. Curious as to what Rear Anti-Roll Bar you are running. Do you run it on the street still attached? I'm currently running Drag Shocks front and rear. 90/10 front, 50/50 rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL M Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanx guys, wasnt expecting those Qa1s to be that pricey, maybe once I recover from the expense of the rear. They do look sweet. For now I'm thinkin just get the cheap sumitt brand to match the front, theyre only $36 ea. If I'm a good boy the rest of the yr maybe Santa will bring me springs and better shocks. The antiroll bar I use is the HR Parts and Stuff one and I leave it on. This bar allows me to remove the front sway bar for good...makes the car real tight. Again, thanx guys.
