Re: Adjustable Coilovers
I put a set in last winter and just today had a chance to see how they work, I made two passes this afternoon on the 7 setting of the single QA1`s and it chattered the tires and slipped and slided thru the first 300 ft. Dropped the shocks down to 5 and just like that- dead straight dead hooks the rest of the afternoon, I`m using 12 130 pound springs on them too.

Re: Adjustable Coilovers
Comp Engineering 12 way singles here. QA1 12" springs rated at 110 pounds. Still playing with the settings. Have tried 1-3 so far on a very slick track. May stiffen them up next time.

You need to get the front and rear weight of the car before you can select a spring. You'll also need shock mounts. These are not direct replacements for the factory shocks.
