Default QA1 coils

anyone using QA1 coil overs in the rear?

some questions:
1. do I need to remove the t-bars to run the coilovers?
2. what length shock is best for our cars?
a. I read the 924 write-up but it doesnot specify length and thats how summit sells them

3. which spring are you guys using?

Lastly,
What to do with the front? i was leaning towards ground control coilovers

i've had them in the rear for several years, no complaints. IIRC i have a 95# spring on them. 250# up front. did not remove t-bars

I'm using Aldan double adjustable shocks, they bolted right up with home made spacers on lower bolts.

Take a look at this link;

i was using them w/ 450 fronts and 525 rears- no torsions- tried them w/ the torsions adjusted to "neutral" and found that there is no neutral with torsions- better off w/o them if you go coilovers w/ larger spring rates. If you get them through Jegs or somewhere you will need to make sure you have the proper lower bearings for them to fit a Racer's Edge lower mount since w/o torsions you NEED to have these mounts or the bolts will shear off. You will also need spacers at the top to fit the upper body mounts.

If your going with ground control in the front why not GC at the rear also?

Dans Setup is still running great... Just in my car I also deleted my TB's, but I am running the Proper lower mount.
