The Nomad ran coil overs all the way around.
That's good to know on the QA1's. They were a set I had laying around, so it's not a big deal to replace them.

My first impression when I drove the car was the front was over sprung, over damped or both. I dialed down the shocks, which improved it a bit, but it still felt over sprung (or maybe badly damped with some stiction). I'll swap the springs, and then see where I need to go next.

It may be that the back end will be just fine once I get the front sorted out.
