I just looked at QA1 stock cause i can change the height my self i need shock any way
Aren't those shocks very high $ :?:
 
Re: Starting my signature build *UPDATE Apr 11th*more pics!

I do believe the QA1 shocks are oriented for the more serious drag racer :idea: I could probably buy rear lowering springs and drop spindles cheaper than buying a set of the QA1 shocks. I would like to just do the drop spindles up front so I can retain the factory height springs and the awesome factory ride :mrgreen:

Oh no my friend you can say GOODBY to the factory ride, that's going to change when you put those drop spindles in.

Really :?: That sucks :!:

I am not even going to bother with lowering the car if I can't retain that ride comfort

Had my buddy at MWR make me an aluminum cowl to replace the screen that was mounted on top of the heater box. He also drilled 4 new holes in my water pump pulley so it'll bolt to my water pump :mrgreen:

😳 I have a feeling I am going to be dissappointed with my cam selection after I start driving my Regal. I do plan on swapping to 1.6 rockers, so maybe that will make up for my smaller camshaft :|

What do y'all think :?:
 
Re: Starting my signature build *UPDATE May 11th*more pics!

With the 1.6 roller rockers you will deftinally hear your cam a little more and gain some extra power at top end, I used comp cams 1.6 roller rockers. I have a 490 lift cam and now with the rockers its 0.30 lift which makes it a 520 lift, you'll hear it more yes.

What cam do you have? Idle quality is within the duration and LSA lift can effect it sorta with the rocker arms.
