Default GMT900 Front Coilover Question

I've been going thru QA1's entire catalog, which coilover shocks will swap on the front?

These?

Have you contacted Fox shox or king racing? They make bolt in coilovers, although they are for lifted apps. They could probably make some for a lowered app too. That's what I will eventually do, just haven't gotten around to it.

Just measure from bolt to bolt at what ride height you want and match that up to the qa1 catalog...

I've done that, it's what upper mounts and spring mounts that will work that I'm not sure of

What types of mounts are on the nnbs?

With QA1s you will probably need to go to an aftermarket spring. Although im not 100% sure because ive never delt with one of the nnbs coilover springs.

Alright so stud upper and eyelet lower.....Stocker Star Shocks | Stock Mount Non-Coil-Over Shock Absorbers | QA1 Suspension

Take your pick...you want your ride height to be approximately in the middle of the shock range.
