Coil Over suspension help needed
I am wanting to go with a set of QA-1's for my car...but , I am wanting to go with a set to be able to remove the large flat mono spring that runs from side to side...am I on the right track to be able to do this...Or can someone please point me in the right direction on how and what I will have to get and buy to do this....I want to be able to lower my car and still be able to have great adjustment....I know there is a coil over kit to do this....or is there another way...maybe I am just wacked out....

I have the DRM Extra Grip kit on my car. Transverse springs are leaning in the corner of the garage...

What am I looking at $$$$$$ wise to get them....and are they a bolt on at home with no welding or anything like that....?
Is there a website I can go to look at these?
Thanks guys for the quick response...

1988 is that odd year
On my 89
The front:
I moved the sway bar up an inch and widen the shock towers about 3/16 of an inch
Rear:
Reversed the lower control dog bone bolt around

Did your kit come with instructions on the modifications necessary, or is it just obvious once you try and mount them?

I did get any instructions. I did all my research on this forum.
The price is hi for a 88 since its a unique year.
for the 89-96 DRM has then for $995 I'm sure you can get the QA1's buy the front first then the rear. I got a bargin from someone off the forum.
