you do not need V6 springs with your set up you are going with. actually V6 springs do not belong on any car that wants to go fast on the track.

i have the same thing on my front josh. and i set up my own. Do u have the tools to do it? And yes u need to adjust the spring locking nuts atleast 3 to 4 inches before even putting them on the car. measure from the bottom of the spring nut(not the locking nut) to the bottom of the threads and start from there.. it will save u lots of headache.

i for one love the qa1 with there chrome look. i got the front r series and the rear coil over conversion which does away with the rear springs all together with.

Chrome? If I ordered chrome wheels and they came loking like that I would be pissed. I think "brushed" is the term you are looking for Kenton.
