Clint are you saying the Bilsteins are better than QA1? Why? Have you used them? Interesting!

QA1 Proma Stars would probably work very well,Andre. Bilsteins won't cost that much more,if any,and they would be easier for you to get since the factory is in Germany. Bilstein has oulets in many countries,too. http://www.bilstein.de/ Clint Hooper H&H Custom,owner 1969 El Camino ProTourer 2001 H-D FLHR custom bagger http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "André-Tigergutt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I have checked doug rippie but its out of my budget and I don't know who sells the bilsteins. Now I am more like going in the qa1 proma star direction, any ideas if they are good. Have Fun!

On my 91 Callaway ZR-1,I had their Bilstein shocks converted to coilovers by Guldstrand. Doug Rippie Motorsports did the coilover conversion on my 90 ZR-1. We kept the FX3 adjustable suspension system active on both cars and added a Bilstein controller. The different controller allowed me to change damping rates with just a cartridge swap. Nice set-up. I would stay with Bilstein for your particular application,Andre. Whatever you do,stay away from Aldan coilovers. Their stuff is found on a lot of pretty streetrods but FWIW,Aldan doesn't even own a shock dyno so that ought to tell you something.
