What exactly are you trying to get out of the car?

QA1 is fine. You mean struts, not shocks right? Those Tokico struts are fine, QA1 shocks are good, but I wouldnt use their struts. If you're into drag racing then you want a spring rate of 150- 175. 200 isnt good for drag racing. If you car about street driving a lot, then go with 175 over 150.

Also, make sure you get some 4 bolt c/c plates with this. MM is the way to go with those.

You could buy that kit then get rid of those springs.

Im getting them because my rims rub on my a arms when I turn the wheel all the way because my rims are 9". I dont think QA1 stuff has that problem. Other then that, people get them for looks.
