  • mixing shocks

    I need to lower this front end about 4inches because the weight redux has the nose wayyy up in the air.

    Is there any negative effects of going with QA1 coilovers up front and leaving my kyb agx's out back for the time being?

      Do you know if the QA1's need that spacer if you use the PA lower control arms? You kknow which one I'm talking about? I think BMR makes them they are like a billet spacer for where the shock bolts up to the lower a arm...

        I have the spacers I didn't install them though, The car sits high enough as it is.

            Its been about 3 years running my QA-1's up front and about 2 years with the QA-1's in the rear. I also have but not used the BMR front brackets that you can use reg. springs on the front instead of the QA-1's. Never bent or broken anything.
