I recently decided to purchase the rear Qa1 coilover kit from bill at SCP. I purchased the rear kit from him because i acquired a set of Qa1 frint coilovers that where made for our cars some years ago and i really liked them alot because the ride good but handle much better and make your ride height completely adjustable not to mention a substantial weight savings. I installed the rears today taking my time in about 3 hrs. They have a very beefy upper mount that you have to drill a couple of holes to mount them to the body for support. Overall i would rate the installation a 3 out of 10. Along with the coilivers i also ordered a bearing kit to make adjustment of the springs much easier and a crow foot spanner wrench so i could use a long handle ratchet to adjust the ride height. I pulled the lcas down and removed the coil springs as well as the aluminum mounts and air bags, while i was at it i reaced the rear sway bar bushings. After i assembled the coilovers and got the poly bushings and sleeves pressed into the lower shock miunt it was really as simple as mounting a set of shock absorbers. The shocks are 18 way comp and rebound adjustable fir superior ride control and have completely custom adjustable ride height. I raked mine set to 27.25 front and 28" rear. That puts the top lock ring 3.5" down the shock body uf anyone want to set the rear at 28" from the center if the fender to the ground! Here are some pics if the install rude heiggt pic is befire i raised it and i will continue to update this thread as i drive and race with them.
