Ridetech vs QA1 Front Coilovers

This may be a Ford vs Chevy argument, but is one kit with tubular control arms better than the other? I know the QAIs have double adjustable vs Ridetech single adjustable shocks. Yes, you can upgrade Ridetech to triple adjustable, but that’s a $2k upgrade. I’ve seen both at SEMA last year and they’re both good kits, and maybe I just answered my own question.

Not doing track stuff, just cruising and want a smooth ride.

Cruising and smooth ride would be spring rate and compression damping, so get whatever kit lets you adjust compression.

Another option is Viking. They are double adjustable and reasonably priced. I have had them on the front of my truck with the stock control arms for a few years now and I like them.
