Product Details

The QA1 27 Series of Monotube dampers, feature much of what makes the 26 series great in a package designed to fit stock shock mounts. By using a larger 46mm diameter piston with linear valving, they offer rock solid control and consistency, while still offering top notch feel, for handling you can trust. No two wheelmen or race cars are the same, so QA1 offers these shocks with multiple off the shelf valving options as well as the ability for the end user to rebuild and revalve the shocks if configured accordingly. It is true we are all not circle track stars or super heroes of the local spectator drags, but with the multiple valving options, and the ability to bolt these right into to a number of applications, these make a great choice to step your street cars corner carving game up.
