    What's the difference? Which should I go with. My car is going to be retired from Daily Driver duty soon and I'm going to get some QA 1's but I'm unsure why the dble adjustables are so much more $$$... I'm going to pair them with Eibach Pro-kit sprints. Any suggestions? Preferences' ? Why should I choose dble adjustable over single adjustable?

    Thanks

    double adj lets you adjust rebound and compression. if you want to perfect your car, double is best-as long as you know how and when to adjust them.

    here is one link to get started on some of the info research. http://www.afcoracing.com/tech_pages/dragshock.shtml

    read up, as many people think that double is better. if you dont know how to adjust them properly, you are wasting money, so read up as much as you can before you spend the $$.

    Thanks for the link. I understand where your coming from. I wanted some feedback on the guys that have them first as well... I understand how Compressions and rebound work. I have a few suspension system Cert.'s from Ford so its all good there. :nice: I was just wondering if the extra control is worth the extra like $150.

    Jake my man...who else right? I am currently running the QA1 single adjustable rear shocks and love them. I have the passengers side rear dialed in little more for the hard launches. I think with my amount of Horsepower to rear wheels (500) these work fine and save the extra $150 for something else! :D

    I figured you may chime in. I didn't know if you had the single or double adjustable.
