Performance Benefits

The 8Q shocks provide all the performance benefits of QA1's larger body shocks, but in a more compact design. This smaller outside diameter makes them an excellent choice for lightweight racing classes or situations where clearance is critical. The scalloped base loop further enhances clearance in tight spaces, such as upper control arms and shock mounts. With high-quality raw aluminum pistons, these shocks ensure maximum consistency and performance on the track. You can easily tune the shocks by adjusting bleed shims or drilling out bleeds to suit your racing needs.
