I have single adjustable QA1s on now, and I like them a lot (I can turn them down for a soft ride on the road, and simply turn the button at the track to harden them). The only drawback is that they're already pretty hard at the 4th click (out of 12). You really need stiffer torsion bars to be able to use a firmer setting on the shock (or else the shock does the bar's work, giving an ugly ride).
I'm taking them off the hardtop and will put them on the convertible (along with the Reilly UCAs and strut rods I also have).
I'll be using double adjustable QA1s instead on an AlterKtion (it's interesting for some specific uses to have different settings in rebound and compression).
I would advise you to get shock boots along with the new shocks before installing them though. Once they're on, you will not feel too happy about having brand new shock pistons totally exposed to road grime and debris. Especially knowing the price of the shocks. (I bought them afterwards, they're still on the shelf).
Reilly UCA are pretty well-built (they need to be painted ), but I would take a look at another model that seems to allow caster and camber settings without UCA removal (

Don't know them, though.
Only other thing I might add is Reilly's strut rod kit. Very sturdy piece, (probably no weight gain on this one), and only one direction of travel for the LCA.

This is purely overkill for a street car though.
