Incredible QA-1 Coil Over Dealio...

I got an incredible deal on a box of these fully-adjustable (see the **** in the pic?) coil over shocks with springs. I got 25 sets and I was wondering how many folks would be interested in converting from struts to this for $50 a set

One day deal only...tomorrow, it's the Decatur swap.

Wow, but need more info. Direct fit/swap? What else is needed? Any fab needed, etc.? Go ahead and call me an idiot, but I haven't spent much time researching suspensions yet. Thanks man...

You shoulda called my prank earlier, DE, and saved everyone their "pain"...

Like anyone even cared about the Decatur swap.....it was just a convenient prop since I knew none of these folks would even know there was a podunk place called Decatur, TX...
