I made the mistake of installing the QA1 shocks/struts up front. The thin wall tube was cut poorly, would chew into the aluminum if I had not use thick stainless steel washers, some of the hardware is not corrosion resistant, no bottoming cushion...all around bad. Yes adjustable, but not worth the pain. All problems could be corrected if a good company took the time to do all the right things. I bought new FORD MM shocks/struts, will likely install thus fall, along with custom lowering springs.

At risk of sounding like a broken record, a quality solution is available from a Penske shock builder in the low $3K range for all four. You get every dollars worth, and if you're considering a step up from KYB, or Naake, well, this is it.

Lifespeed If I recall you had your Peske shocks revalved for final adjustment. Do you have the records if a member ordered a set front or rear ?

Yes, no problem.
