Hi guys...
I ordered 4 Hal QA1 shocks from JDM. And they charged me total $860 included shipping. They said its 2 days shipment, so I have to pay $80 shipping fee. (NJ to Vancouver Canada)

I mean Does this sound right to you guys????

By the way they are pretty nice ppl.....

 

Why ask other people? If you don't feel comfortable then contact JDM.

By the way.... the QA1s are great

 

QA1 shocks are very pricey,i have them on my cobra.Your price sounds about right if you include the $80 shipping charge

jarmstro,
What setting do you have your rear shocks setup at for best results when racing?

 

I agree you will love the QA1's

Jim will get them to you, and It will be worth the wait.

 

Are we talking $860 Canada type money? I wonder what the conversion is.

With the track conditions in Ennis during FFW we set them at 2 and ran low 1.8, high 1.7 60ft times running Hoosiers. We would squat and go

On the street we keep them about 5.

 

Depending on the coditions I run them at 2 or 3

If the track is really hooking I run it at 3 if the traction isn't as good I go down to 2

I get 1.64 60' times with the QA1's Hoosiers and JDM traction bars.

In this pic you can see how the rear squats and the front lifts

 

Since you ordered them already, it doesn't matter.

But you asked. If you paid Canadian dollars, you got a great deal. If you paid $860 (including shipping) in American dollars, then... oh well.

Four shocks from Ruslow are $650 dollars (mounting kit included). ($650 American dollars is equal to $1013.28 Canadian dollars as of 29Oct2002. Shipping is free if you are a NLOC member. I don't know if that applies to Canadians.

 

I've got the QA1's and I love them, worth every penny, totally adjustable for varied track conditions. I've heard they're also rebuildable, you get what you pay for, just my opinion, John H.

 

Thanks for reply guys!!!

Yes, I paid US$860 for 4 shocks from JDM.

Hmm.......oh well....

 

The shocks are rebuildable and the valving can be also be changed. More info is here. Just read thru the threads where they are mentioned.

 

Don thanks for your input Do you have the QA1 adjustable struts as well? If so do you run them soft also?I have been having some wheel hop problems as of late due to the colder weather and was told to stiffen the rear end up alot with a much higher setting for the rear to help control it which it did not and i see you guys are going alot softer in back and seems to be working out well for you guys.Have you tried your setting at 9 or higher to get a good comparison between the soft and stiffer setting?Thanks!
