QA1 8Q3-DRY-6PK Shock Series

Revamp your racing experience with the QA1 8Q Series Dry Shock Packs. Designed for performance enthusiasts, this six-pack offers a cost-effective solution for building custom shocks tailored to your specific needs.

Key Features

  • Complete Shock Build: Each pack contains all the necessary components to create six new shocks, including gas bags, seal packs, pistons, and piston rods.
  • Custom Valving: Enjoy the flexibility to tune your shocks according to your racing requirements, although please note that bleed shims are not included and a tuning kit is required.
  • Easy Assembly: Pair your pack with a closure nut wrench and QA1 SF16 shock oil to complete your builds with ease.

Performance and Design

The QA1 8Q series, formerly known as the 80 series, features a compact aluminum small-body design that stands out in the racing world. With configurations available in bearing mount styles and a threaded body, these shocks are perfect for coil-over setups using QA1 kits (sold separately).

Body Length Options

Racers can choose from body lengths ranging from 3 to 9 inches, allowing for versatility based on racing rules and applications. The smaller diameter is ideal for lightweight classes or situations where space is limited.

Rebuildable and Tunable

Designed with racers in mind, the 8Q shocks can be re-valved and rebuilt in just minutes using basic tools and available kits. The two-piece body design simplifies disassembly and reassembly, making maintenance a breeze.

Advanced Features for Superior Performance

  • The gland features relief cuts and a hyper screw port, facilitating easy filling and bleeding during assembly.
  • Upgraded seals significantly reduce leaks, particularly in high-rebound scenarios.
  • The compression tube employs a slip-fit design, simplifying the rebuild process.
  • A scalloped base loop enhances clearance in tight spaces, such as upper control arms and shock mounts.
