Default Coil-Over Parts Pictures

I decided to go with the QA1 double adjustable coil-over kit for the front. I wanted to be able to really dial in the ride and handling. I am a mountain biker, so I have some experience having the same adjustments on my bikes to dial everything in. I had 550 lb. springs on the previous coil-over set up which worked well, so I stepped up slightly to a 600 lb. spring. The springs are 10" long, and the shocks are 17" long.The car was very streetable before, so I hope this will be a good starting point since my intention is to autocross and road course the car from time to time. Eibach spring colors only come in in silver or red. I chose the silver. The spring hats are at the powder coater to be done in black so I have a little contrast.
