Review of QA 1 Coilovers-Rears for now

[psycho6cyl]

I love them. I orginally wantes to do DSE drop 2" all around. Decided to buy rims w massive tires and got the usual 1/4 rub. My friend parted ways w his gbody and had these left over. I figured it couldnt hurt at this point. Well these are defintely worth what they are sold for. The spring is a 150 I believe. I was able to get the car high enough where it does not rub. Its not the look I wanted bc I didnt want to trim any panels or moldings. This is a great compromise. Once I established the right height-and yes numerous jacking up and down and test rides. Once I got it where I thought it wouldnt rub I adjusted ride quality-via knob on shock to a harsher setting to see if there was rubbing. There was so I jacked the car back up and made my final adjustment. To have the car not rub for me the wheel well molding had to be 28 1/8" high. To save you guys a little trouble for me w a 28 tall tire I measured from bottom of shock up to lower nut on shock and it measured about 5". Now I have been adj the ride quality knob-w the + and - symbol and the car rides good about 6 or 7 clicks for the base which is turned allnthe way yo negative and gonfrom there. These are the same ones Mark feom TR Custom parts sells. I will def be doing the fronts. Another great product.

Sidenote- I never installes the DSE setup bc I would have def rubbed too much. Not flaming that product just never tested it.

I bought 130 # springs. I wonder how those will ride. We'll see. Let me know what front springs you decide on getting. I have gotten different opinions on which ones to use. Good job by the way, glad you are happy. Put a picture when you get a chance.

Got them on my GN as well since I sell them! http://buickgn.com/gbodyrearcoiloverkits.htm My tire height with 275/60's is right at 26 1/4" but I have trimmed my quarter lips. These are bolt ons but I decided to make them permanent so had the lower mount welded on.
