      QA1 Double adjustable coilover valving design

      Looking for a new set of coilovers for my Cuda.
      I run Corvette C6 front end & custom torque arm rear, both ends require coilovers. Its a new build and currently it doesnt have anything.

      On my other car I initially had Strange coilovers. I found them very harsh on larger bumps. In other words the high speed valving was very hard.
      I opened them up hoping to modify the piston shim stack only to find it doesnt use shim stack but a set spring loaded valve with a couple of very small oil bleed holes. No wonder the high speed action was harsh, these things simply could not move oil at a high speed and were simply hydraulic "locking".
      I replaced them all with ridetech HQ's and threw them in the trash.

      So back to the Cuda and back on topic......
      I could go ridetech again but they dont have compression/rebound adjustment and I cant afford the TQ series which leads me to the QA1 double adjustables.
      Does anyone know if these twin tube shocks run a proper shim stack on the piston or are they the same crap design as the Strange units ?
      Cost between Ridetech HQ and QA1 double adjustables is almost identical so money is not a determining factor.



      I wish Ridetech made a HQ type shock with dual adjustment in the same price bracket.
