I am looking for a good set of adjustable shocks and stuts. I want to have something that will help me transfer some weight at the track.. but still be drivable. Thats why I figure adjustable. I had a friend who must know something about suspension (he drives the worlds fastest LS1 cam only car 10.219 tonight) tell me he uses QA1. thoughts?

QA1 are nice but very expensive!!! what type of budget are you on? What suspension are you on now? Some drag springs and Koni adjustables will help with the transfer of weight...I know you just did your engine so thats why I ask about budget...this stuff gets expensive...

So he beat his 10.281@130?


I would go with Koni adjustables as well.

Yep he sure did and he was using a hose clamp from my car to do it hehe.. does that mean I can claim 10.21
On his previous launch he did a hellacuois(sp?) wheel stand and scraped the paint off the bumper. busted the madman bars under the car and busted a clamp. we looked around and couldnt find one.. so I parked my car for the night and let him borrow one of mine. Do you know Rodney? Funny thing is LS1 joe was running at the track acrossed town and ran a 10.22.. he prolly thought he had it until he got home to see the post.. had to suck lol.

Budget is an issue.. but not extreme. I wont be getting this for about a month so Ill be saving here and there for it.
