The 8Q twintube shocks from QA1 offer the consistency, performance, and tunability that racers demand.
Previously known as 82 series shocks, the threaded body allows for easy use in coilover configurations with QA1 kits.
Depending on rules and applications, racers can select from body lengths ranging from 3 in.
to 9 in.
The 8Q shocks deliver all the performance of QA1's proven large body shocks in a more compact design.
The smaller outside diameter makes this shock suitable for lightweight classes or applications where clearance is a concern.
Small details contribute to overall performance.
The scalloped base loop enhances clearances in tight spaces 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 by drilling out bleeds.
Features include applications for Dwarf cars, Legends, Mini/Micro Sprint, Midgets, or any low clearance application.
Racers can revalve and rebuild 8Q shocks in minutes using basic tools.
The gland includes relief cuts and a hyper screw port, simplifying the filling and bleeding process during assembly.
Upgraded seals reduce leaks, particularly in high-rebound applications.
The compression tube incorporates 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.
Specifications include an internal design of twintube, upper mount eyelet, lower mount eyelet, an extended length of 15.75, a collapsed length of 10.63, and a body diameter of 1.625.
