Default QA1 Coilover HELP........

I have been looking at 2 coilover kits from QA1 and cannot decide which to get. There is a economy coilover kit and one that fits directly. Can either of these be used on stock subframes with tubular control arms?

You absolutly want the adjustable kit. The GMP1350-1 is correct if you have aaluminum head small block car. We have them in stock for $450 including shipping. You may need a heavier rate though, if so we have heavier kits also

$450 is for the complete kit left and right. I do suggest you also get a adjustment bearing and tool for $60 more.

These will lower the car 1 1/2" without risking damage to the shock.

As far as lowering goes then, I am better off keeping my 2" lowering springs then. Are there any other alternatives that can go 2-3" or more? I really appreciate your help btw
