QA1 12.00 Stud/T-Bar V 3-8 Shock Large Steel 8.63

QA1 has built a reputation for making performance suspension parts that racers can rely on. This 5Q Series Twin Tube shock is a prime example, designed with circle track racing in mind. It features a large steel body and a 12.00-inch stroke, making it suitable for a variety of applications where precise damping control is crucial. The focus here is on adjustability and ease of maintenance, so you can spend less time wrenching and more time on the track.

What sets these shocks apart is how easy they are to work with. QA1 uses a two-piece body design that simplifies disassembly and reassembly, and the compression tube has a slip-fit design to make rebuilding even quicker. You can even re-valve these shocks in minutes with basic tools, which is a huge advantage when you need to fine-tune your setup. Plus, the gland has relief cuts and a hyper screw port, making filling and bleeding the shock a straightforward process. An upgraded seal kit helps minimize leaks, especially when you're dealing with high rebound forces.

For easy identification, QA1 laser-engraved a black-anodized closure nut with the serial number and valving information, so you can always tell what you're working with, whether you're at the track or back in the shop. This shock is a well-built option for racers who need a reliable and easily serviceable suspension component.
