    I just checked my shops Napa Pro Link account and nothing came up for a 95 Camaro. They might not be made in that fashion, commonly referred to as simply a "Quick Strut".

    I run BMR with double adjustable QA1's. And ran the KYB AGX for a while with the BMR's. And I was happy with the setup.

    Though I am strongly considering going to a Viking setup.

    @Madman337 there a good shock. You pay the same as Bilsteins. But you get adjustability to match your spring choice.

    Thank you. I was kinda leaning toward them because of their adjustablility vs the Monroes and I wanted to hear feedback from somebody who has actually used them.

    OP, give the design of our upper A arm assembly IDK if there is a complete assembly.

    Madmad, I've had the KYB AGX's, they were a good shock for the money bu they didn't do what I needed them to do. The adjust-ability of them is equal for extension and compression. Meaning unlike a drag shock where you adjust each individually when you loosen an AGX the front will extend and compress at the same rate not just extension. When you stiffen it, again it's both directions so the entire ride is stiffer. The shock is deffinatly adjustable just not what I needed for drag racing.

    You would need the assembly to include the upper spring seat/shock mount. Technically, it's not a "strut", but a coil-over-shock assembly. I've got the QA1 single-adjustables, with their drag springs, and as good as they are for drag use, they didn't impress me for street use. I suspect the double adjustables would be better for the street, and either gives you the ability to adjust ride height as well.

    Really not that hard to break down the assembly yourself. I used a Lisle strut compressor and it worked fine. One advantage of the Lisle compressor is that the spring coils are locked in the compressor with u-bolts, significantly reducing the risk of the spring shooting out of the compressor. The adjustable lower spring seat on the QA1, available with a thin roller bearing, solves the problem of reconstructing the correct alignment of the lower shock bolts and the upper spring shock mount bolts.
