Perfect timing. I need to do a complete rehab on my suspension, and was considering the QA1 conversion kit because I need to replace the original and very dead springs on my '64. I figured the adjustability of the QA1 shock, as well as the height adjustment feature would be a big help in sorting stance when I put the new wheels/tires on. By the way, I found the QA1 kit on the Global West site. I'm thinking about buying their whole a-arm kit and the QA1 kit (have to replace ALL my suspension stuf, including ball joints).

Lemme ask this, though: If you buy a "big block" spring/shock kit, then put your engine compartment on a diet with E-heads, aluminum manifold, headers, rear battery, don't you have a more "small block" application, and you wind up oversprung? I'd sure like to get the opinion of somebody who knows suspension principles before I spend a lot of money for a less-than-optimal setup.

(windy dude, aren't I? sorry)
