QA1 coilover recommendation ??
Hi
Anyone install the QA1 coilover single adjustable??
How's the quality??? I don't track my C6z but I do drive aggressively as a weekend toy. With that being said, these cost 1/2 of what LG, Pfadt Coilovers are...... I mainly want to have a lower stance on my car...Should I get these or just go for the gusto with the other brands??
Thanks for the replies!

If you want a really nice option for coilovers I would suggest the Stance USA over the QA1 myself.
I will be putting these on my GS shortly once weather allows me to as I am going to have Stance install them for a review for everyone
Here is link to view the coilovers

We also have the Pfadt and LG as well.
Call me direct or PM me for an even better deal than the 1399.99 I am allowed to advertise for

be advised: one C6 owner went thru an ordeal w. his QA shocks and had them altered by QA who had not designed it correctly for the C6 (his opinion, not mine). he still didn't feel that it was right at the end if I recall. do a search if you're going that route. I haven't read any bad reviews of Pfadt or LGs--but sometimes owners do want to upgrade to more/better shocks such as adjustables.

There was a forum member here who recently sold his Z06 that had Stance coils on it. They go really really low, but for the price I can't imagine them being better than a quality brand. You get what you pay for, and its hard to beat the performance/handling of Pfadts.

Quality really is nice for the money. Besides if they were cheap and not worth a crap I would never put them on my own car

Phadt...LG..ect will go as low as you want them to as well but there is a point where the shock will eventually bottom out on all of these brands and you will be out the "functional range".. Phadt and LG are exclusive to Corvette and Camaro which can drive up the price..It looks like Stance has been doing this for a while and has just added Corvette to there roster..who knows they may be better
I do know personally that Pfadts all the way low still perform very well with not loss in functionality and ride, even though that's not their intended purpose to be very low ride height coil for the C6.

I've seen Pfadts in action as two of my friends bought them for their C6. They are very impressive. Stance looks like a nice option though. I'm just wandering if coil overs (any of them) are worth it for street driving though. My GS is a Vert so it won't see a track.

Dennis you have unanswered questions here...!!!
Are your C6 coilovers rebuildable?
Are there different spring rates availible?
I cant see the comp adjustment in the pic i assume its at the bottom and accessable?
Thanks
Paul
