      Just Beat me to Death With a QA1

      Long story short....i got my car and it had the qa1 coil overs. with 800 miles the passenger side shock went. We sent it out to be refurbished by simply suspension. While overhaulin the suspension we put it back in. When taking the drop spindles off and putting stock ones back on i see that the passenger one is leaking again. And now for some real wacky s%#$!. I look at the top of the shaft of the driver side, where you put the nut on top to sock it down...and the threads are totally stripped. Now wouldnt qa1 make it so the shaft is stronger than a the nut so that if somethign does get stripped, its the nut not the shock shaft!!!! So i have now had 3 bad shocks from qua1 and im done with them. i dont know if anyone else has had problms liek this with their company but i know their policy is not very good. They wouldnt replace a shock with 800 miles on it because it was2 years old. What are you going to do? im not dealing with anymore so i need suggestions for shock types. I went to koni so far but they make nothing for my application. Im not going with strange because thier casings are qa1. Me and pops thoguht the shockwave air ride would be really kool but im not sure what the best way to go is. It doesnt matter if its coil over or air ride but i jsut want the best i can get. Leave some suggestions. Thanks
