QA1’s rebuildable Q Series twin tube shocks offer the performance, consistency and tunability racers demand.
QA1 now offers 5Q Series in six packs of “dry” shocks. They include parts to build six new shocks and offer a cost-effective way to use custom valvings. The packs include gas bags, seal packs, pistons, piston rods and more.
Six packs DO NOT include bleed shims and will require the appropriate tuning kit to build your shocks. Don't forget to grab a closure nut wrench and QA1 SF16 shock oil.
QA1’s rebuildable twin tube shocks offer the performance, consistency and tunability racers demand. Formerly known as 51 and 53 series shocks, the 5Q series is a large body shock available in both bearing mount and stock mount configurations. Racers can choose from 7” and 9” bearing mount bodies or various stock mounted lengths depending on rules and applications.
5Q shocks can be re-valved and rebuilt by racers in a matter of minutes using basic tools. Two-piece bodies make it simple to disassemble and reassemble shocks. The gland features relief cuts and a hyper screw port, making shocks easy to fill and bleed on assembly. An upgraded seal kit minimizes leaks—especially in high-rebound applications—while the compression tube uses a slip fit design to simplify the rebuild process.
Small details throughout the shocks add up to provide great overall performance. The black zinc coating ensures a very consistent finish, creating a tight seal every time. The scalloped base loop increases clearances in tight areas like upper control arms and shock mounts. Pistons are made of high-quality raw aluminum, minimizing variations that can be found in anodized parts. You can valve the shock with bleed shims or drill out bleeds to maximize tunability.
5Q shocks utilize a laser-engraved, black-anodized closure nut to make serial numbers and valving easy to read at the track or in the shop.
QA1’s steel body shocks can be used in coil-over configurations using the appropriate kits (sold separately). Racers can rebuild and re-valve their own shocks using available tuning and rebuild kits.
