The twin tube shocks from QA1 are rebuildable and offer the consistency, performance, and tunability that racers demand.
The 8Q series, formerly known as 82 series shocks, is an aluminum small-body shock available in configurations with bearing mounts.
It is very easy to use in coil-over configurations with QA1 kits (sold separately) due to the threaded body.
Depending on rules and applications, racers can choose from 3-9" bodies.
The 8Q offers all the performance of QA1's proven large body shocks in a compact package.
This shock is a great option for lightweight classes or applications where clearance is an issue due to its smaller outside diameter.
Small details add up to provide great overall performance.
The scalloped base loop increases clearances in tight areas like shock mounts and upper control arms.
High-quality raw aluminum is used for pistons to maximize consistency.
To maximize tunability, the shock can be valved with bleed shims or drilled out bleeds.
The shock features a twin tube design with a diameter of 1-5/8" and eyelet bearing-mounts.
It has a 3" stroke and measures 10-3/4" eye to eye.
Racers can re-valve and rebuild the 8Q shocks in a matter of minutes using basic tools and available kits.
The gland features relief cuts and a hyper screw port, making it easy to fill and bleed on assembly.
Upgraded seals minimize leaks, especially in high-rebound applications.
The compression tube uses a slip fit design to simplify 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 own shocks using available kits (sold separately).
