Thanks for the compliments! Of course I think our shocks are a huge improvement, but I'm a little close to the whole deal and I've been using them for a year longer than anyone for testing. It's great to hear from a satisfied customer.

Those ridetech's sound awesome...how would they stack up to some double adjustable aluminum shocks like the ones from PTFB? Trying to learn what's what. Thanks

what I had in the front were the bee hive style spring, first of all it was too short my spring collar was at the top of the threads on the shock housing. so i had my ride height set but i couldn't adjust any more. as for the rear each coil spring were nearly touching each other not sure if i was getting spring bind.

now the front have a 12" spring and the collar is at the bottom of the threads so i now have more adjustment. the rear now has spacing.

i now have 36 click for adjustment on the front and 24 on the rear. as soon as i drove it it just felt better, the rear seems to stick more when i hit corners.

Guys....I am not bashing QA1 shocks I have been using them for about 3 years, so if your car has them keep them. all I wanted was more adjustment. and if anybody is interested in these they will be up for sale
