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 bearing mount configurations.
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" 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 suitable for lightweight classes or applications where clearance is an issue.
Small details accumulate to deliver 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 enhance 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 9" stroke and measures 23-3/4" eye to eye.
Racers can re-valve and rebuild their 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 minimize leaks, especially in high-rebound applications.
The compression tube uses 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).
