The twin tube shocks from QA1 are rebuildable and offer the consistency, performance, and tunability that racers demand.
Known previously as 82 series shocks, the 8Q series is an aluminum small-body shock available in configurations with bearing mounts.
The body is threaded, making it easy to use in coil-over configurations with QA1 kits (sold separately).
Depending on rules and applications, racers can select from 3-9" bodies.
The 8Q delivers all the performance of QA1's proven large body shocks in a compact package.
The smaller outside diameter makes this shock an excellent choice for lightweight classes or applications where clearance is a concern.
Small details accumulate to provide overall performance.
The scalloped base loop increases clearances in tight areas such as upper control arms and shock mounts.
High-quality raw aluminum is used for the pistons to maximize consistency.
For tunability, the shock can be valved with bleed shims or drilled out bleeds.
This twin tube shock has a diameter of 1-5/8" and features eyelet bearing-mounts.
It has a stroke of 7" and measures 19-3/4" eye to eye.
Racers can re-valve and rebuild the 8Q shocks in minutes using basic tools and available kits.
The gland includes relief cuts and a hyper screw port, simplifying filling and bleeding during assembly.
Upgraded seals reduce leaks, particularly in high-rebound applications.
The compression tube features a slip fit design to ease rebuilds.
The closure nut is laser-engraved and black-anodized, making serial numbers and valving easy to read at the track or in the shop.
Racers can rebuild and re-valve their shocks using available kits (sold separately).
