Can't wait to rip it!!!
That Stinger hood scoop is perfect!
This car is absolutely incredible!! Bravo!!!
I purchased a set of single adjustable QA1 brand new coil overs for my 67 mustang from cj pony parts. after about 50 miles or so I have noticed residue on the top part of the shock where the cylinder slides up and down. is this normal with new shocks out of the box?, i have wiped them and cleaned them and noticed after driving the car again im seeing slight residue its not like a leak where i see oil dropping down onto the ground, but just a mist of residue?. can anyone let me know this is correct?. id hate to have to take apart my front end again
A little residue is no issue! Generally a small portion of lubrication will make it past the dust seal on the top end and attract dust or other particulates. this is no way affects the performance of the shock and all internal components are protected from the particulates. Only an issue if leaking were prevalent.
Nice rumble
One bad ass looking car 👍🏻
Love the build!!!
I own a 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 (W218), I’m currently looking to replace the whole suspension (coil overs preferably) I would greatly appreciate any recommendations. I’ve spent considerable time researching but haven’t found the ideal solution yet.
Hi there! Appreciate you reaching out. We currently do not offer a direct fit coil-over shock setup for this vehicle.
And someone's ol lady was showing some cheeks around that road runner! 🍑
How much did you pay to have those songs in your video? 😂
I love it when i get a wild hair up my ass to build a crazy street truck/car and then find the exact build i wanna throw money at on KZread. This thing is gorgeous!!
Go for it! We can get you set right
I want to go there
I just bought the stage 2 street kit for my 1969 chevelle can't wait to put it on
Brian, it looks even better in person. Can’t wait to get the new suspension on my son’s 67. Thanks for your help
How does adding a wing with a known downforce factor add into spring rate selection?(1000lbs at 150mph)
Hello, I daily drive a trans am 2001, I’m thinking of getting some coil over kit from you guys, do you know if these will make the car more uncomfortable or will be the same or if you have any kit that will do it a bit more comfortable?
The adjustability the coil-over shocks provide will immediately improve your ride quality and handling. You just want to make sure you find the right spring rate. Please reach out to our tech team for some recommendations at 952-985-5675 or [email protected]
Heck yeah
i want to know what spring rate you used on the b body wagon?
Depending on the rear weight of the vehicle and what the goals are for the car, we typically recommend the 250-300 lb. spring rates.
Seems like a sway bar would also help correct for some stationary body lean, in much the same way. There's force being applied to one side, perhaps just heavier on a side, that's causing compression of the suspension. So a sway bar should help counteract that in exactly the same way, correct?
From one 68 Biscayne owner to another: that's a big, bad, beautiful B-body, Brian! Love it! Absolutely nailed the stance. 👍👍 I'm banging around on whacked factory springs to get about the same stance. Pretty horrible ride. Maybe someday I'll be able to swing the QA1 package. Fellow 68 b-body discount, perhaps? 😉
The great thing about our vehicle kits is that they can either be purchased as one whole kit or you can purchase the components individually.
I like that it appears to have manual steering and no ac.
wow yall didnt even ask him to start it....thats why this video is whack
Wonder if this could all be attached to a 2x4 mandrel bent tubing frame ?
May be a dumb question, these compatible for the k10 as well?
Not a dumb question! But at this time, it is not compatible with that truck.
I like torsion bars for drag racing, but would like the rack and pinion steering.
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Will this fit on a 71’ F250 long bed ?
We do not have a kit for the F-250 at this time. May be able to offer a shock setup depending on your specs!
Can I still use my over the axle exhaust? I have a 1979 Pontiac trans Am and love the look of duel chrome extension tips.
Over-the-axle exhaust can be done. Depending on how it was routed prior, it may need to be cut and re-routed after the 4-link is installed.
@QA1TECH can make a video on that '79 Trans Am.
Can I still use my over the axle exhaust?
You are not able to use that with this kit
I thought the point was to not red light
Yes , and without the cheesy 6-71 sticking outta the hood.
Fast
My ford focus could
I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 RCSB RWD and am interested in the Front Pro Coil Shock as well as a rear shock that will hopefully allow for an ultra smooth and forgiving ride. The truck is my daily driver and mostly stock. I understand the benefit of having double adjustable shocks all the way around but is it worth the extra cost for my setup and goal? I don't need performance... I just want the smoothest ride possible. Should I just go with the single adjustable and crank the knob all the way to the left? It would also be great to get a video from you guys to explain how different settings on the double adjustable shocks would perform. Like, what if you set the compression knob all the way to the left and the rebound knob all the way to the right? What would that ride be like?
If you are just looking to improve your daily driver and have a better ride, the single adjustable shocks will definitely get the job done. We recommend slowly playing with adjustments and doing some test drives to find the right mix of compression and rebound.
can i adjust the rear so that theres hardly any travel up/down? im working on a 70 chevelle and the customer has very to little clearance on the rear wheels to the rear fenders.
I would recommend reaching out to our tech team for some recommendations on the setup you are looking for! 952-985-5675 or [email protected]
Awesome!
I wish y’all had a 1.5 drop spindle for a 2012 sxt charger and I could use a good coilover for a 1.5 drop in the back so I can adjust stiffness in the back for stock ride because the front with the 1.5 drop will ride like stock. I wish yall had that because lowering springs eibach and their struts and shocks do not good at all. Well if yall ever make one let know 🙏🏾
Wish I could afford the front suspension… I spent all my money on a 440 and everything else. Maybe someday.
Super clean!!!
Appreciate it!
What would be the ideal settings for a 2000 Silverado 1500 RCSB RWD for the most comfortable ride? These trucks typically have a lot of bounce in the rear.
That color is killer. I know someone that would love this after they see it here lol. Hope you see this Cuz'n lol 👀. Norcal_Pressure
i have a 70 chevelle bbc. The owner has huge 22" wheels and it rubs on corners and on bumps. How do i stiffen the rear so that it barely moves? will the rck52341 WORK?
Any recommendations for 91 Caprice b-body I want it to sit up higher in the front
Our kit is superior your exhaust is expendable cut it
🤙
Could I ask a question? How can metal connect carbon fiber? It is difficult to break.
Finally an explanation I understand, thanks guys!!
I wanna put some on my 96 grand marquis
It's a shock promotion, and the salesman doesn't know who he's talking to.
I think you provided some very elementary information about Compression and Rebound valving, and not much else. I am thinking that this short video is really bait to get potential customers to contact QA1? For example, you say your recommendation is to go stiffer for Rebound. But you neglect to mention that a stiffer Rebound damping can have a negative effect over repeated bumps, where the slowness caused by a stiffer Rebound setting can result in the damper ultimately jacking down until the suspension is riding on the bump stops. At that point, the spring rate is almost infinite, so the ride becomes VERY stiff, and it can also result in the tires being unable to track the pavement properly and end up with less traction. My suggestion for viewers who are trying to understand how to set up adjustable coilovers: 1. Start by setting all four dampers for Full Soft on both Compression and Rebound. 2. Find a good stretch of roads that will be a good test for the suspension response. Make sure it has some bumps, ridges, ripples. This will be your test route as you make adjustments, and the consistent route will help you to see how the changes affect the ride and handling of the vehicle. 3. Take the vehicle for the initial drive over your test course. Make a note of how the front responds, and how the rear responds. 4. Now, with the rear still set for Full Soft on both Compression and Rebound, work on the front suspension. Dial in Compression stiffness, several clicks at a time. For each change, take the vehicle out on the test course and note the change in response for the front suspension. 5. Repeat Step #4 until the Compression damping is as firm as possible, without being stiff and uncomfortable. Write down the final front Compression setting. 6. Now, work on the Front Rebound setting. Increase the Rebound stiffness, a few clicks at a time, and take the vehicle out on the test course. Note the response to increased Rebound stiffness. The goal is to get the Rebound stiffness sufficient to quickly settle the vehicle after it encounters bumps and road surface changes. 7. Repeat Step #6 until the Rebound damping controls the chassis response smoothly, and doesn’t stiffen Rebound so much that the damper jacks down onto the bump stops over repeated bumps. Write down the final front Rebound setting. 8. Now that the front suspension has been initially set, work in a similar manner on the rear suspension, starting with Compression damping. For the rear suspension, Compression damping will have a bigger effect on ride quality (seat of the pants bumps), so use that as a guide to set the rear Compression damping. Again, stiffen the Compression damping a few clicks at a time, then take the vehicle out on the test course and note the change in ride quality. 9. Repeat Step #8 until the ride quality of the chassis is comfortable over the test course - firm, but not stiff. Write down the final rear Compression setting. 10. Finally, work on the Rear Rebound damping. Increase the damping a few clicks at a time, and for each change, take the vehicle out and note the difference with the new setting. 11. Repeat Step #10 until the Rear Rebound damping controls the rear response to bumps, allowing it to quickly settle without excessive bouncing, and without causing the dampers to jack down and ride on the bump stops. Write down this final rear Rebound setting. That will give you a good initial setting for your suspension. It’s important to write down these values and keep them, because as you drive the vehicle and become familiar with the suspension performance, you will likely note that the front or rear may need some fine tuning in the future. For the fine tuning, only work on a single axle that you suspect could be improved, and only change the damping a single click in either direction. Write down the change, then drive the vehicle and note whether that change made things better or worse. For the fine tuning, take your time, and really focus on how the damping changes affect either the front or the rear suspension response. Don’t try to change too much at once or else you will lose your reference. If you do end up changing too many things and really mess up the response, go back to those final Compression and Rebound settings that you saved during your test route work, and start from that known reference again. I used this procedure for both of my cars with coilovers, and it ended up giving me much improved ride and handling.
