    QA-1 shocks are available at jegs.com and they also are relabeled by Jegs and cheaper.
    I have the shortest QA-1's on the front, single adjustable.
    Jegs number 122-US301 Ultra ride with bearing ends & 300 lb 7" springs.

    And Jegs on the rear, double adjustables.
    Jegs number 555-64900 bearing ends & 450 lb 9" springs.



    The shocks and springs may not be the best for the weight of this car.
    It's just my starting point, we will know more after we drive the car.




    Rear coil overs.
