Best place to get QA1 Coil over front shocks?
I have been road track abusing the living heck out of my 69 Camaro for 4-5 years straight and finally need front shocks. I must have jumped the front end off the ground at least 35 times last summer during my Grattan event. I currently have QA1 adjustable shocks in the rear and they work great. So I want QA1 for the front now.
Anyone know where I can get a good deal on the front QA1 Coil over shocks? |
You really do not want the coil over conversion especially if your getting air. You will knock the bottom out of them quick.
A good set of Hotchkis Springs and QA1 shocks would be perfect. We got ya covered. |
I would really like them to be adjustable so I can dial in the ride height as hight or as low as I want. I could always try to take it a little easier on the jumps.
I also need some poly body mounts since I blew one of those out jumping so much last year. One of the videos from my event last year. http://www.adfabdesign.com/RaceEvent...0-evo-pass.wmv |
after seeing your video's last year I went out to grattan to watch and it was awesome. I gotta get my car out there hopefully this year.
as for the coil overs I have been looking at them too and the cheapest place I found is www.autofabracecars.com there not a sponsor here but they do have the cheapest price I found. for my car they are 409 and summit's price is 449. hope this helps. |
You will kill coil overs dead in a week. there simply is not enough spring and stored energy there.

Would an AFCO type adjuster work for you? Then you can use a real spring and a good adjustable shock and still do some tweaking to the height and for proper corner weighting. I haven't heard good things about coilover conversions on 1st gens mainly due to the small springs used like Frank says. I'm running Hotchkis BBC springs in my bird with Koni's and I love them so far.
Maybe you should look at the solid bushings, I'm running GW's with their subframe connectors welded in, and there is zero squeaks or other noise...just a nice solid feel. Solid bushings allow the suspension to do it's job, rather than letting the entire subframe move in relation. |
AFCO is an awesome choice for coilovers
