I'm not satisfied with the rear shocks that I have on my T Bucket and looking to replace them. They're actually made for a sand buggy. Now, I've got my eyes on a set of QA-1 adjustables. Here's a link: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/QA1-Adjustable-153-Inch-Coil-Over-Shock-Kit,39184.html I'm looking to get feedback on the quality before I drop my cash. Pro's/cons?
I stopped into a local shop that specializes in hot rod suspensions with my t-bucket and he recommended 80-90 lbs springs and any good shock, and said that would soften up the bounce..Is the problem a rough ride, or excessive bounce/rebound?
I purchased a set for the 27 model T I built, they have been on it for about 4 years they are still going strong, I sold it to my brother and I know he drives the s@#$ out of it.
She rides rough. I have been living with it, but always suspected it could be better. I don't want a lot of bounce, just a little more comfort. What are you using?
The QA-1 adjustable shocks have a unbelievable amount of spring rate from so soft you bottom out to so hard they practically move. HRP
Do your self a favor. As long as your willing to step up for good stuff, call ElPolacko at Industrial Ch***is. He sells the Bilstien stuff and it is in mind without any doubt the very best. Anything you order through him will be custom done for your car. I can't say enough about the shocks they set up for me under the Plymouth.
FYI - Those are single adjustable, so you can only adjust the rebound, not compression. I've used those before, they are good shocks and the available springs are many and cheap. You might consider the double adjustable version in your case.
