I have a 66 coupe that I’ve had for over 10 years and recently got interested in working on it again and have watched most of your videos now! So thanks for that!
Thanks Andy for making the video. It will be interesting to see how it handles with the new shocks. I have the KYBs on my 65 Falcon Futura and have been thinking about upgrading them.
When you jack up on the center of the diff put a block of wood on the jack so you are just lifting the housing. If you lift on the center section it will break the seal and allow it to start to leak.
If the wood is taking place of the head of the floor jack, what do you think it's pushing on? There is a rubber pad on the head of the floor jack, it "gives" more than wood does. Plus, the housing for the rear diff hangs down a little lower than the third member, so you really shouldn't be lifting the third member anyway. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel. I find the outside of the lift cup on the jack hit the center section when the rubber compressed. So I used hard wood to prevent it from contacting it. Also made a hardwood block to jack on the pinch welds for my classic and modern cars.
As I said last time I run QA1 coil overs on the rear of my 23 T. My Mustang has Bilstein's right now but will see how well the QA1 shocks work on the Mustang. thx
Andy I just noticed your license plates. As a Washingtonian and 65 mustang owner you know you can get collector vehicle plates for the mustang and you never have to renew it again. No more tabs. Save you 100 bucks a year 😉
Hi Andy ,have you got a brake line leak on the left side? I noticed the paint is lifting on your diff housing. It looks like you've used a long flare nut where it maybe should have been a short one.
It has only been a year. I'm still figuring out what settings I want. Mostly because I don't put a lot of miles on the car, and I only drive it in good weather (which cuts out over half the year in my area). :)
@@AndyKruseChannel pretty much knew I was going to hear that !! 🤣🤣 I’m just hoping to try and raise the back of my Mustang up about a inch and gonna replace the shocks since it’s due
@@Menace510 One easy way to raise the rear is to buy longer shackles. Your shocks may need to be replaced anyways, but taller shackles might give you the look you're after. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel thanks!! I actually did order a set that can lift the back a inch to four! I’m really just trying to cram a 315 in the back and it’s just barely rubbing so that with a good set of double adjustables I’m hoping to lift the rear just a little and control all the movement! How was your overall ride quality?
@@Menace510 Ride quality is decent, but I don't have anything to compare them to. Meaning, prior to these QA1s, I have traditional shocks in all three of my classic mustangs. I wish I would have tried other brands of adjustable shocks to know if these are the cat's meow, or mediocre. Heads up on your 315mm tire plan, unless you've got a Panhard Bar, Watts Link, or 4-Link rear in your car, that axle is going to move from side to side under cornering, and those leaf spring bushings are all that is stopping your tires from completely rubbing on the quarter panels and inner tubs. :)

Awesome, we’ll to the show!
I really want to put these on my fastback. Glad to see you do a review on them! Great video!
Thanks, they will be great in your car!

These are great, I’m really liking how they handle so far. 😁

It's on the list of things to do, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. :)
Thanks for the video.
No problem!
This is a super investment.... So I will do the same.-Thank you Andy - Exellent superb video as always : )
So far it has been great, I just need more seat time so I can dial it in just how I like it. :)
Hi Andy ,have you got a brake line leak on the left side? I noticed the paint is lifting on your diff housing. It looks like you've used a long flare nut where it maybe should have been a short one.
Yeah, it’s either the break line of the breather for the axle. It’s on my list to fix. 🙂
Hey Andy, any reason why you chose these over the koni adjustable shocks?
Yes, these have 18 settings for Compression and Rebound, each. And they pair nicely with the front double adjustable shocks. :)
Looks good bro👍
Thanks!
Great job👍
Thanks!
Hey how do you like these shocks now? Few years later?
It has only been a year. I'm still figuring out what settings I want. Mostly because I don't put a lot of miles on the car, and I only drive it in good weather (which cuts out over half the year in my area). :)
Did QA1 give you a discount code for your subscribers to use? I am going to pick a set of these up.
Unfortunately no. I am hoping as my channel grows that I can work those kinds of deals. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel fingers crossed for you!
Nice!! I’m getting ready to get some double adjustable for my 1965 coupe!! Did it effect your ride height at all? Liked and subscribed 👍🏽
Nope, rear shocks don't play a role in ride height with these vehicles. :)

What gear is your rear end?
3.55:1
You might want to address your brake fluid leak I saw on your rear brakes.
Yeah, it's on the to do list.
