    Koni shocks for strip ??

    I still daily drive my car quite a bit, so i dont want to spend the money on the QA1's and wear them out from driving everyday, just looking for something that will last from daily driving and also give me the performance at the track over stock......So i was considering the Koni single adjustables, what do u guys think ?

    Any adjustable shock will be great for you and Koni puts out some good stuff.

    I think thats what you need. The QA1's seem to wear out if you daily drive it, from what I heard.

    Koni makes a good shock.. I have QA1's on mine, but I only put about 2500 miles a year on mine.. They do work great at the track(QA1), lots of adjustability..

    I have the yellows (sport) on my Mustang, there externally adjustable. The classics (red) you have to take off to adjust every time. The yellows on there softest setting up front allow for more then enough weight transfer to the rear. When I take the mustang the the 1/4 mile track I will set my front as right about in the middle just a touch softer, and then take the rears about a 1/8-1/4 turn down from all the way up, and I gets tons to hook and weight transfer. For around town driving, I will keep them pretty soft, but for auto-x and road racing, I crank them all the way hard, and I'm able to hold and pass, my buddys road crab down or up the canyon, or around the track. And I'd dare say that it way out handels my Z07 that I had.
