I have an 03 GT 5spd when I bought the car it had a QA1 K-member, QA-1 A-arms, QA-1 coil-overs, and caster camber plates. The coil-overs have the adjustments on top and obviously they can be turned with the wrenches. How do I make it ride and handle well. I have messed with them and it never feels like I'm doing anything. Any help would be great.

Is it your wish to do AX or open-track with your car? If so, I am gonna have some bad news for you :( The QA1 stuff is designed for drag-racing and does not have the strength for hard driving in corners. My guess is the springs/struts are for weight transfer off-the-line, so those are not likely to be good for corners either.

How bad do you want to rip corners?

PS. Welcome to MF's :D

Jazzer that is actually god news to me. I am more into drag racing than AX. The AX stuff tends to be more expensive and I'm broke. I would love to learn how to optimize my current mods to make it a faster car. I just have no idea what to adjust and what way to go with it.

OK... that IS good for you, but will disagree that AX is more expensive. You can AX your car forever and probably never break anything. You get into launching and you WILL break stuff as you are pushing your entire driveline with clutch dumps.

As for drag-racing, I am not the one to talk to on this subject. I have very limited knowledge on what it takes, but for some very general things. Hit up the 4.6 (Modular) section and do some research! Your questions have been asked about 10 billion times and lots of info is within the back-pages of MF's.

Thanks for your help man and your car looks sick. I am originally from Redwood City by your neck of the woods.

Grazzi :D
