Qa1 Vs. Bilstein Vs. Aldan Vs. Varishock Vs. Penske

Any one with expirience with any of these shock makers, please tell me what you think is the best choice for a performance coilover.

Maybe a road race forum would be a better place to ask, as 99% of the people on this forum will not have used these shocks.

Thumbs up

I have seen QA1 shocks used in dirt latemodel & IMSA racecars quite successfully but they may be a bit harsh for the street. Bilstien or any German manufacturer would probably be more civilized.
