The twin tube shocks from QA1 are rebuildable and offer the performance, consistency, 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 choose from 3-9 inch bodies.
The 8Q provides all the performance of QA1's proven large body shocks in a compact package.
The smaller outside diameter makes this shock an excellent option for lightweight classes or applications where clearance is an issue.
Small details contribute to great overall performance.
The scalloped base loop increases clearances in tight areas like upper control arms and shock mounts.
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.
This twin tube shock has a diameter of 1-5/8 inches and features eyelet bearing-mounts.
It has a stroke of 7 inches and measures 19-3/4 inches eye to eye.
Racers can re-valve and rebuild their 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).
