Strange Engineering or QA1?

[Matts94Z28]

Out of the two, which would you guys pick? I plan on doing some 12 way single adjustables w/275lb springs.

QA1 if that's the only two choices.

[chrisheltra]

I have both.

QA1's in the front and Strange on the back.

[Matts94Z28]

I would like AFCO's but that's out of my price range. Now I need to choose between the R series and the F series

The R's are basically a 90/10 shock with stiff compression. So I can adjust the how fast the front end comes up and it wont come down too fast and cause me to blow the tires off. But the downside is that they aren't that great on the street, they would be VERY stiff regardless of the setting.

The Gen F's are are more of a 70/30 and the adjustment would affect both compression and extension equally. So they would ride better on the street, but wouldn't hold the nose of the car up as effectively.

I will say I am leaning towards the R's as of now, but I am having a hell of a time choosing.

for a straight up 90/10 shock you cant beat these in quality or price

Strange fronts & Comp Eng. rears on my Camaro. Going with a rear strange shock for the TBSS soon. BTW QA1s are made in China and Strange stuff is made in the USA.

I have lakewood's front and rear. Because some people can't be trusted with many adjustments.

just enough street duty to show it off, don't matter if it rides like crap

??

gonna order the Calvert Trac Bars ($339)
so i asked calvert for a "package deal" today

wonder what they will say?

The fastest stock suspension car on the planet runs QA1's. Hope that helps.

[Matts94Z28]

I can get the Strange drag front single adjustable shock pair with 275lb springs,
spanner wrench and torrington bearings for $479 to the door.

The QA1's "r" series minus the torrington bearing kit is $489 to the door.

This is tough.
