Some would argue that "fit" is just a matter of perseverance! Hope it will work out, look forward to the pics.

Jason you are so right. I did some more research and found that Brent with the wonderful 1303 street legal racer in NZ had to modify his stock irs arms in order to "fit" QA1 coilovers. He also include pics!!

You just need to drill a lower mounting hole higher in the bottom cup. I will post pics tonight as I am now using the DDR4855P model now.

Opps!! Qa1 coilover do fit irs
Sandeep enlighted me on how the fit qa1 coilovers. I had to grind just a little clearance ( 5 to 7mm) around the edge the of shock mounting cup, in order to prevent any binding of the spring and spring perch. Check out the pics

Got mines from summitracing.com. They are just south of Atlanta, Ga. Noticed you are in TN not much of a drive or shipping should be reasonable.

Nice coilover set-up. I can't wait to see this car in person.
Summit is a great place for performance stuff. I ALWAYS stop at the Summit store when I'm heading down for dyno day and Silver Dollar drag's ![]() As a matter of fact, I will be there tomorrow nite...

Speed,
What did you do about the bolt size difference? Did you open up to 1/2" and use same size bolt.. When I was looking at these, the thing I did not like was the fact that the eyelets were about 1mm to large for the standard bolts.. Thanks Alex

Good Ol' Summit. I'm in there 3-4 times a month or more. We are lucky to have one right in our town.

I've only been to the shop in Reno NV once and it's the closest summit store. I do make tons of online orders though, and they have always been top notch, even for returns or exchanges.
Alex, the eyelets are 1/2" and the only ways to get around it to sleeve the bore or upgrade to larger bolts. I upgraded to 1/2" hardware on my car and drilled out the upper shock mounts. |
