I just picked up a set of new qa1 shocks for my Camaro cheap but didn't notice they were r series.
I cant afford to buy new ones for a long time as I had to finish off my nice suspension off with the old front ends cheapo shocks, witch kind of rides and handles good.
I use it for daily driving and like corners..... Should I put them on or will they be worse than what I have?

R series has a heavier compression damping curve than standard. The car will be "stiff". If you go into it knowing that, you'll be ok for awhile.

Or you could have them revalved.

I might go for the re-valve job if its a reasonable price as Im having no luck selling them.
No luck asking qa1 about having them done , there are stock car shops around but their shocks are quick rebuild able.
Anyone know where I could have it done?

I checked with QA1 and they told me Doug at OC Shocks.
