Re: coilover shocks
There are ways to calculate the correct spring rate to use. It's based on the weight on each wheel and the distance from the pivot point of the control arm. I think QA1 has the formula on their website. I would also call the company you are going to buy them from.
I saw a pretty good deal for adjustable QA1s on racingjunk. I think QA1s are the best for the money. The varishock is probably the best but those will set you back more then $700 a pair.
