    I found out yesterday that if you're doing the inverted QA1's you must use the lower shock mount hole, the shock hits and will not allow you to use the upper hole.

    Are you saying it hits at full droop, when the car is airborne?

    The body/base of the shock will not allow the mounting hole to reach the top control arm hole, no matter what ride position. I honestly don't see an issue with this as the only thing this would effect is ride height which is adjusted by the coil over anyway.
