Gerst Tubular Suspensions
can we change the coils for qa1s? That's what I run in the rear so I would want to keep it the same. What do the brakes in the basic kit look like? I am torn between the two. How much drop are the spindles? I saw it mentioned only allowing for 1 in lower or higher with the vikings.
Hi there,
to answer a couple of your questions, yes, you could run qa1 shocks if you want, my kits come with double adjustable viking coilovers (which is actually a split off off qa1, much better product, and all American made unlike most of qa1 shocks, while not a big deal to some people, I just prefer to keep things built in America).
The reason I prefer to only adjust inch above or 1 inch below ride height is simply to keep your shock stroke as centered as possible, for instance, the shocks I run have a recommended ride height of 12.625 to 13.375 inches, by lowering more than an inch, effectively you've limited yourself on the compression side of the stroke, and gained more than desired on the rebound end of the stroke, so if you want more than 1 inch lower, just simply order a dropped spindle, that way you can achieve the desired ride hieght, while not compromising your suspension travel, the shocks I run have a 4.625 inch stroke, which gives 6 inches of travel at the wheel. Also, the oem style brakes look very comparable to your 73+a body discuss brakes, and still maintain the big mopar bolt pattern. My website is being updated as I've had some technical trouble, so hopefully all that will be addressed by the end of the week, any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thanks!
Carl
