Who makes coilovers?

[SuckaFree]

Hey guys, I had coilovers on my Jetta that I owned and the car handled amazingly, and I don't know how I'm gonna change back to a truck from a car that handled like a go-cart. Are there any companys that make fully adjustable coilovers for S-10's?

Carerra made them....but i think they are called QA1 now, fully adjustable. they cost about 500 tho

Thanks for the info man, 500 isnt bad at all, I spent 1300 on my KW's for my jetta:eek:

Also your want to look into a 4-link kit for the rear if your going with coilovers. I think airride has a bolt on kit.

I had the QA1 setup,on my truck the small block kit would not hold the front end up! So i called QA1 and they said(i weighed the truck) the big block setup would barely hold the front end up! It should work on a reg cab 4cyl.

I now use Coleman racing adj spring perch's(5 1/2") with 9" hypercoils springs 1320lbs. It's really stiff and it only cost $250 i think.

a ladder bar would be the way to go on street.

i wonder if those change the ride height at all... i'd almost rather go with the AirRide shockwave lower a-arms with the Qa1 setup. keep a 3" drop...

Yea I know what I'm in for, I like the ride coilovers give, having the ability to take quick turns is reallllyyy fun :D . I have coilovers now on the Jetta so it can't be any worse.
