Re: Rob's Garage Build in Process

T-P Auto.
Thanks for the kind words. I am running QA1 double adjustable coil overs with 6" stroke. (full disclosure, I am now employed at QA1). They are a good value and made right here in Lakeville, MN. One of the key things you will want to figure out is ride height and suspension travel. I wanted longer shocks to drop the rear tires down enough to remove them when the car is jacked up. Some guys with big tires need to unbolt the shock to get the axle to drop enough to change a tire. The other thing on coil overs is to figure out the right spring rate. This requires that you know the weight on the front or rear axle and the intended use of the vehicle. Drag race, autocross, street cruising...

I also converted the front to coil overs - running a 5" stroke up there.
